The Documentation team at Multiplay (Unity) is growing and we’re looking for a technical writer to join us on our mission to deliver great docs to our users. You might be an experienced technical writer who can teach us a thing or two, or a passionate writer with an interest in technology who is looking for their next challenge.
The Docs team is made up of people from a variety of backgrounds, including technical authoring, game development, content management, and web copywriting. There’s no set path to becoming a good technical writer, so we’re not concerned about specific university degrees or experience; if you have the above skills, then we can teach you anything you need to know. And if you bring considerable skills and experience, then we want to learn from you too.
You’ll collaborate with customer experience teams, developers and engineers across the globe to produce great documentation that simplifies, explains, and empowers users to get the most from Multiplay products. This includes a mix of writing from scratch, revising draft documents supplied by developers, and overhauling legacy content.
