Working as a technical writer in Austin
A genuine second tech centre now rather than an overflow one, with no state income tax, which materially changes take-home against a coastal offer at the same nominal salary. Deep in enterprise software and semiconductors.
Most of the hiring in this list clusters around Downtown, the Domain and East Austin. Location on a posting is not always literal — check whether a role is genuinely on site, and whether "remote" means remote within the country or remote from anywhere, because the two are priced differently.

Technical Writer pay and hiring, asked properly
What salary can a technical writer expect?
In India, roughly 5–12 LPA at mid-level and 15–28 LPA senior, with API and developer documentation above general product writing. The US band is about $70,000–$110,000, the UK £35,000–£60,000. Writers who work in the codebase rather than alongside it earn noticeably more.
Do I need to be able to code?
For developer documentation, enough to read the code and run the examples yourself — otherwise you are transcribing what engineers tell you and the errors go straight through. Docs-as-code is now standard, so Git, Markdown and a static site generator are practical requirements rather than nice-to-haves.
What should a portfolio contain?
A page of real documentation you wrote, ideally with the before and after. Rewriting a confusing open-source README and linking both versions is the single most effective portfolio piece in this field, because it demonstrates the judgement rather than describing it.
