The Technical Writer will interact directly with Engineers and process the existing R&D documentation of the TextPass products into end user documentation. The role requires a technical background and an expert knowledge of word processing tools such as MS Word. Required: * Native English language skills; * At least 3 years experience as technical writer, preferably in a software product environment; * Expert knowledge and experience of word processing, preferably MS Word; * Good knowledge and experience of graphic editing tools, preferably MS PowerPoint; * Proven ability to conform to company documentation style; * Solid technical background supported by technical training; * Proven ability to quickly grasp new technical information; * Experience with document management; * Professional attitude and eagerness to deliver high quality work; * Involvement in technical and commercial product document reviews. It's a great opportunity - cool company, growing very quickly, they know that documentation is a very important part of the process, nice people, good atmosphere. Plus, you'd become my colleague, and I am -as we all know- very good company. If you live outside of Amsterdam/the Netherlands but want to move here, I know the company helps out with the moving process (though I don't know to what extent - I didn't have to move myself). This is an in-house job based in Amsterdam. Telecommuting is possible to some extent; you'd have to be physically present part of the time, though. The above is a mix of my own input and the job description we have, by the way, and I typed it in under three minutes. So if it looks goofy, meh. :) tag:jobs.metafilter.com,2008:site.434 Mon, 12 May 2008 12:33:14 -0800 technicalwriting software writing development amsterdam technical_writing writer editor Skyanth
