A Technical Writer who works alongside AI from day one

Hiring a Technical Writer from RG INSYS is different from a typical staffing engagement. Every engineer on our bench uses Claude Code, Cursor IDE, and GitHub Copilot daily. That is not a sales line, it is a hard requirement on day one of the contract.

For you that means three things. Faster shipping, AI handles the boilerplate so the engineer focuses on architecture, edge cases, and your domain. Lower cost, you get senior India-based engineers at the rate of UK or US juniors. Higher quality, AI-generated tests run on every PR before human review.

If the engineer is not the right fit in the first 2 weeks you pay nothing for the trial period and we replace them at no cost. NDAs are signed before any disclosure and full IP is assigned to you, the code lives in your repos under your accounts.

FAQ

Common questions about hiring a Technical Writer

How quickly can a Technical Writer start?

Most Technical Writer roles ship a 2 to 3 person shortlist within 48 hours of a signed NDA. The chosen writer typically starts within 5 to 10 working days.

Do your Technical Writers read code, or only outlines?

They read code. Default minimum: comfortable reading Python, JavaScript, and Java well enough to verify samples and write accurate references without an engineer-translator.

Can the Technical Writer work in our timezone?

Yes. Writers commit to a flexible 8 hour day with at least 4 hours overlap with your team. UK, EU, US East/West, UAE, and Australia are all supported.

Do you replace the writer if it's not a fit?

Yes. The first 2 weeks are a free trial. If you decide not to continue, you pay nothing for the trial and we replace the writer at no cost.

Who owns the docs?

You do. All docs, runbooks, and templates are assigned to you on payment and live in your docs repo. No retained copies on our side.

Can you also help with technical marketing content?

Yes, but separately. We keep marketing copy and product docs in different hands — different writers, different review processes, different success metrics.
