RDQ426R13
At Databricks, we are passionate about enabling data teams to solve the world’s toughest problems — from making the next mode of transportation a reality to accelerating the development of medical breakthroughs. We do this by building and running the world’s best data and AI infrastructure platform so our customers can use deep data insights to improve their business.
In this role, you will lead a team of talented technical writers who develop the customer-focused technical documentation at docs.databricks.com. You use your background in data science, development, data engineering, or business analytics to help define priorities, use cases, and information architectures. You are passionate about instructional writing, with a focus on clarity, straightforward storytelling, and an information architect's approach to organizing material. The work comes fast and furious, but you'll never let up on your attention to detail or your advocacy for the customer. If this sounds exciting, we want to hear from you!

- Help drive a use-case-based information-architecture approach to organizing content.
- Help us continually improve our authoring and production tools and processes.
- Help us as we evolve how we create and manage content using AI-powered tools.
What we look for
- 7+ years documenting sophisticated technologies for technical audiences.
- 2+ years of experience leading and developing teams.
- Experience working with AI, data, or developer-focused technologies.
- Mastery of the tools of the technical writer and editor: consistent voice, straightforward and lively style, understanding of the rules of grammar and usage.
- Demonstrated understanding of information architecture concepts and how to apply them to a rapidly changing landscape.
- Proven project management skills.
- Proficiency in HTML, markup languages, and Git.
- Experience working in a docs-as-code environment, including with GitHub.

- Basic proficiency in at least one programming language.
