Technical Writer

The Role

We seek a technical storyteller, systems thinker, and AI collaborator who thrives at the intersection of complex technology and human understanding. Technical writers here play a critical role in our customer success, serving as builders who see documentation as a critical product that bridges the gap between sophisticated systems and the people who use them.

As a Technical Writer, you'll apply your considerable writing, data, and technical skills to create compelling content that helps data scientists, data engineers, and data analysts use Databricks. You'll partner with Product, Engineering, and Field teams, experiment with cutting-edge AI tools to help create, maintain, and deliver technical information.

The work is fast-paced, but you maintain your attention to detail and customer advocacy. You have experience with data products and cloud services, and the ability to learn new technologies quickly. You have a passion for instructional writing and a focus on clarity. You take an information architect's approach to organizing material.
