About the job
Technical writers plan, create, and maintain educational content as an integral part of the engineering or user experience. The content is often in the form of documentation, but may also be UI text, sample code, videos, or other educational material. Regardless of the content medium, technical writers are distinguished by their abilities to explain complex topics in a way that’s useful to their audience.
At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with subject matter experts from YouTube infrastructure teams and learn technical information and create educational resources that guide readers.
- Drive a culture of documentation, helping engineers to develop resources that reduce the need to provide direct support to their users.
- Edit, clarify, and enhance documents written by engineers and others.
- Learn and explain new technologies from a user-centric perspective, research, develop and test content independently.
- Manage documentation sets written for developer audiences.
