WHO WE ARE

SECLOUS stands for innovation, trust and security in our interconnected world. Instead of new security products, we deliver the needed capabilities to build more secure products – without compromising efficiency, interoperability or control. Our patented Non-Visible Data (NVD) technology offers protection invisible to users and effortless for developers.

Our team combines technical expertise and interpersonal skills. This has earned us numerous awards and a place among Germany's most innovative cyber security companies.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

By establishing best-in-class documentation practices—from deep reference material to engaging tutorials—you’ll empower developers and decision-makers alike to adopt and extend our NVD technology with confidence.

Develop Comprehensive User Documentation : Craft clear, structured user guides and API references for our C++ (and mapped Java) libraries using AsciiDoc and Antora.
Ensure modular content that allows “Getting Started” and deep-dive sections to share consistent core material.

Create Tutorials & Quick-Start Guides : Build step-by-step walkthroughs that help developers onboard quickly with our tools and libraries. Collaborate with engineers to package fully runnable, up-to-date sample projects that are easy to clone and explore.

Write White Papers & Executive Overviews : Prepare concise white papers that clearly communicate the value, architecture, and use cases of our NVD technology. Tailor language and depth to a non-developer audience while keeping technical accuracy intact.

Collaborate with Developers : Conduct regular interviews and review sessions with internal NVD experts to gather detailed specifications and examples. Work closely with the API and C++ Core Teams to document new features as they’re developed.

Improve Templates & Documentation Processes : Refine our AsciiDoc/Antora templates to define consistent structures—headers, footers, cross-references, and version labels.
Establish a Git-based review process with merge requests, style checks, and automated preview builds.

Manage Versioned Releases : Organize documentation in line with our semantic versioning strategy: archive older content and publish updates alongside each new release.
Include migration guides and release notes with each version to ensure clarity and continuity.

Measure & Iterate on Quality : Collect user feedback to improve documentation clarity and coverage. Maintain a prioritized backlog of improvements based on insights from real-world usage and user understanding.
