Communicate with product owners and engineers, ask them detailed questions that customers would ask, and boil down complex topics into procedures that are easy to follow.
Understand why the features were added and what business challenges the new functionality addresses.
Create user guides, online help, process documentation, functional specs and in-product support as needed.
Write content using RestructuredText and the static website generator, Jekyll. Utilize Git for source control and version/revision management.
Ensure documentation is properly maintained, categorized and meets regulatory requirements.
What You Will Bring to This RoleSince our documentation targets system administrators, network administrators, and DevOps professionals, the ideal candidate will have a thorough understanding of the IT industry and the tools used therein including a solid understanding of computer networking, Linux, and web server administration.

Write using the markup languages Markdown and RestructuredText (we do not use Microsoft Word or other word processing software when creating the final version of documentation).

Use GitLab and kanban boards to track our day-to-day assigned tasks.
What do People Like About the Role?The ability to roll up your sleeves and work with tech: load balancing, Linux, cloud platforms, web servers, and a variety of other open-source and commercial software.
The chance to teach others by breaking down complex, technical topics into clear writing that gives the reader an Aha Moment.
