  • Research, write, edit, and revise content that is engaging and accessible to user personas with both non-technical and technical backgrounds.
  • Contribute and publish release notes with information on product updates, releases and fixes.
  • Edit other writers' content and documentation for consistency, and continuously update content with current information.
  • Test what you document to ensure that actual functionality matches instructions, check products for issues, provide insight to resolving problems, and ensure documentation is accurate and consistent.
  • Collaborate with internal teams, including Engineering, Product Management, Product Marketing and Customer Enablement.
