Documentation - Technical Writer I

Requirements:

• 2+ years in a SaaS, IT, or developer-focused environment—for example, prior experience as a technical writer, support engineer, product manager, or other technical role.
• Technical knowledge and expertise—the best writing stems from a true understanding of the product you're writing about and the problems it solves.
• Curiosity, a willingness to wear a variety of hats, a desire to learn new things, and the drive to roll up your sleeves and tackle sophisticated problems.
• Experience with a lightweight mark-up language such as Markdown, Asciidoc, or Wikitext.

• Use Elastic's Git-based software development process—being comfortable using Git and GitHub is important.

• Test both the product and its documentation for accuracy and consistency.
