What are the responsibilities and job description for the Technical Writer position at Memverge?

MemVerge is a small company with big ambitions. Our Memory Machine™ software provides intelligent memory management, eliminating time-consuming storage IO, and making application processes mobile and resilient. Our software runs on the Linux operating system, supports a broad range of applications, and can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud.

 

We are looking for a talented technical writer with a wide range of skills and knowledge to join our world-class product team as a full-time employee. MemVerge offers a competitive compensation and benefits package. We would accept a remote candidate for this position. 

 

The successful candidate will be proficient in writing about highly technical software products or services. You should be conversant with several of these topics: server internals, Linux system calls, enterprise software deployment, cloud computing, and the business impact of memory-hungry applications.

 

The Role:

 

  • Develop and revise technical documentation for an audience of system administrators, ISV partners, and end users working with sophisticated enterprise hardware and software.
  • Work directly with engineers, specifications, code, and other primary sources to document complex technical topics. Your documentation will enable our customers and partners to configure, operate, and optimize Memory Machine software in their application environments.
  • Provide editorial support to our engineering team to ensure user-facing elements such as UIs and APIs use clear, concise language.
  • Collaborate effectively with geographically dispersed colleagues using remote productivity tools including Zoom, Slack, and email.

 

Requirements:

 

  • 5 years of work experience as a technical writer producing documentation with deep technical content.
  • Experience using DITA.
  • Ability to understand complex technical topics quickly.
  • Superior written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience helping designers and engineers refine user experience and visual content.
  • Experience with content management and version control systems.

 

Preferred Qualifications:

 

  • The ideal candidate is a gifted technical writer with a background in software development. An alternative path is an academic background in technical writing coupled with experience in documenting complex software systems.
  • Experience setting up online documentation infrastructure including use of Git and GitHub.
  • Experience producing documentation with Oxygen XML Editor or XML Author.
