Technical Decision Documents - Purchase Opportunity
This is not an open job
We are not filling a seat here. This listing collects experts in this field so we can reach out when a client project needs them. Adding your name puts you on that list — it does not start a hiring process, and there is no vacancy behind it.

What this pays
Rates are set by the client project, not by us, and we do not know them until a contract is in place. Work is paid hourly or per task depending on the engagement. We would rather tell you that than publish a figure we cannot stand behind.
About the Role
Existing documents only | Remote | English only We are seeking to purchase existing, original technical decision documents written by experienced software engineers and technical professionals, for an AI training and evaluation project. This is not a writing assignment. We are purchasing previously written documents only. Documents created or newly written for this project will not be accepted. What a qualifying document shows A real technical decision made by an engineer, including all of the following: a real system problem supported by measurements or data; at least two specific technical alternatives; technical reasons for considering each option; the costs, risks, or tradeoffs of the chosen approach; and a clear decision with an implementation or next-step plan. Relevant topics Architecture and system design. Databases, schemas, and indexing. APIs and protocols. Caching, queues, and distributed systems. Deployment, scaling, and failover. Monitoring and SLOs. CI and testing. Library or framework selection. Capacity and cost decisions. Security design. Not eligible New documents written for this project. AI-generated or AI-rewritten documents. Tutorials or how-to guides. API documentation or runbooks. Specifications or PRDs. Status reports. Marketing materials. Generic technology comparisons. Documents that describe a system without making a technical decision. Have existing technical decision documents that meet these requirements? We are interested in acquiring them.
