What We Need:
We are looking for a talented technical writer to help create and build out a modern documentation infrastructure.

- Write software documentation from technical specifications, discussions with developers, and hands-on experimentation.
- Build and maintain client aids that go beyond traditional documentation such as videos, demos, guided tours, and other educational techniques.
- Publish and maintain templates for written documentation produced by others ensuring a consistent "look and feel".
- Verify both the product and its documentation for accuracy and consistency.
- Help content creators responsible for documentation.
