Illumina Innovates with Rancher and Kubernetes
Writers share their knowledge by researching and writing detailed technical articles on topics like Kubernetes, CI/CD, cloud-native application development, and more. After agreeing on a subject and an outline, writers conduct research, organize their ideas and write high-quality articles with clear language and detailed explanations. In most cases, Rancher writers conduct their own research, so it’s important that you’re comfortable learning processes and technologies that you're not familiar with.
If you enjoy researching more than writing, you may want to consider our research assistant role instead.
We use the following workflow to align expectations and produce great content.
If this is your first time working on content with Rancher, your first step is to reach out to us.

We will review your application as soon as possible and reach out if we think you’re a good fit.
Once you've joined Rancher Writers Network, the next step is to work with Rancher staff to come up with an appropriate topic and determine the project scope and deliverables.
This stage of the process involves:
If you have ideas for articles that you would like to write, let your Rancher contact know so they can verify that it is a good fit for the library and isn't currently being worked on by somebody else. Take a look at the Rancher content library to get a sense of the topics that are already available. Your contact may also provide you with a list of topics to choose from.
After agreeing on a topic, share a brief outline of what you think the article should cover to ensure that both sides agree on the appropriate scope for the project.
Once your topic and outline are approved, it’s time to research and write your article. Read the Rancher community writing guidelines to learn how we write content at Rancher and remember to keep the project scope in mind as you write.
