POSITION SUMMARY
As a developer tooling product, the documentation is the beginning of the customer journey for IaCM users. We are looking for a technical writer who is interested in owning the documentation - including release notes, new feature tutorials, and constant improvement based on customer feedback and data - as well as in branching out to help support the user’s journey with sample code, video tutorials and more. These assets are critical to help users be able to self-activate seamlessly and feel empowered that they can find all the answers to their product questions easily and quickly.
ABOUT THE ROLE
  • Manage semi-daily release notes for all changes to the product
  • Work directly with engineering and product management to document new features
  • Review customer calls, support tickets and other sources of data to help drive proactive improvements to the documentation
  • Willingness to expand to produce video content, code samples, public-facing blogs and other types of technically-focused, consumer-facing communication
ABOUT YOU
  • 1+ years as a technical writer for a technical, software solution or 1+ years as a software engineer with an interest in technical writing
  • Comfortable with pull requests, Git, and markdown
  • Willing to work directly with engineers and navigate complex technical topics - you don’t need to be the expert, but you need to be comfortable navigating the unknown
  • Stellar written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment based on the needs of internal teams and customers.
  • Ability to work asynchronously and remotely with teams in other locations
  • Even better if you have:
