Technical Writer (offline)

As a Tech­nical Writer you can expect to:

Do research on the top­ics of soft­ware devel­op­ment, machine learn­ing, and indus­trial auto­ma­tion to under­stand the areas you’ll be writ­ing about. We’re here to help you out and answer ques­tions at all times.
Writ­e art­icles on these top­ics based on the out­lines we provide. At first you’ll be pair­ing with other writers on the task, and even­tu­ally you’ll be writ­ing art­icles your­self from start to end.
Work with our tech­nical editor to pol­ish the gram­mar and make your art­icles as inter­est­ing to read as pos­sible.

REQUIREMENTS

The fol­low­ing require­ments are a must-have for us:

Have a bachelors or equivalent degree in Information Technology related field.
Great writ­ten and spoken Eng­lish (native or C2 equi­val­ent and above).
Interest in explain­ing com­plic­ated sub­jects in simple lan­guage.
Your own laptop which you can work on, plus a quiet space with Inter­net access that you can work from (your home, the uni­versity lib­rary, a café, etc).
Experience in writing specifications and developing user interface projects, mockups, documents with requirements
Deep understanding of the software development industry.

WHAT WE OFFER

We believe this job is a great fit for Com­puter Sci­ence stu­dents for two reas­ons:

1. After work­ing with us, the clar­ity of your tech­nical writ­ing increases dra­mat­ic­ally. This means you can pro­duce more read­able and enga­ging papers, theses and present­a­tions, as well as stand out with your writ­ing skills when apply­ing to the pos­i­tions at other com­pan­ies

2. The com­pan­ies we work with are star­tups in the areas of soft­ware devel­op­ment tool­ing, machine learn­ing, and indus­trial auto­ma­tion. By writ­ing about these indus­tries you’ll learn about the tend­en­cies and new devel­op­ments and will be able to bring the learn­ings back to your stud­ies and your future career.

We, of course, offer fair com­pens­a­tion, a flex­ible work sched­ule that adapts to your stud­ies, and a kind, sup­port­ive and empath­etic team.

HOW TO APPLY

Please send an email to the con­tact address on this ad and include the fol­low­ing inform­a­tion:

1. A few sen­tences about you: what pro­gram you are cur­rently study­ing, and 2-3 interests out­side of your stud­ies.
2. A link to a tech­nical text you’ve writ­ten recently. It could be a link to a blog post, an assign­ment you’ve done, a doc­u­ment you’ve writ­ten, any­thing at all.
3. A list of 3 top­ics within Com­puter Sci­ence that you find inter­est­ing.
4. Your avail­ab­il­ity: hours/week that you’d like to dedicate to working with us.
