Technical Writer

TITLE: Technical Writer

ANTICIPATION DURATON: 12 Months

LOCATION: Cupertino, CA - Onsite

Description

As part of the Maps Eval team, you’ll create beautiful technical documentation on a wide range of areas related to the data, tools, infrastructure, and processes used and created by Eval. You will also help data scientists, data engineers, and others write their own technical documentation. You’ll collaborate with them to create easy-to-understand how-to guides, system diagrams, tutorials, and everything in between. You’ll also help consolidate, organize, and improve existing documentation.

We use Confluence and an internal documentation portal powered by Markdown and GitHub. If you aren’t already familiar with these systems, this will be a perfect opportunity to learn and develop your technical acumen. And if you want to help build or define the roadmap for our approach to creating documentation, there’s an opportunity for that too.

The primary focus of our documentation portal is on the data assets, infrastructure, and tooling used by Maps data scientists, data engineers, and product analysts.

Key Qualifications

• Strong command of the English language
• Experience writing and structuring documentation, how-to guides, and the like for both technical and non-technical audiences
• Knowledge of Markdown, JSON, YAML, or similar languages
• Able to effectively communicate with data scientists and engineers and turn their knowledge into clear documentation that others in the organization can use
• Willing to learn how to run lightweight, step-by-step python, SQL and bash code in order to check documentation accuracy
• Dedicated to solving problems and sharing solutions
• Passion for quality, design, and user experience

Education & Experience

• Whether you have a traditional English or CS degree, or learned some other way, we’d love to talk.
