Join Databricks in a period of tremendous growth and innovation. Technical writers here play a critical role in the product group: You will create compelling content that shows data scientists, data engineers, and data analysts how to use Databricks to solve their toughest data analytics, machine learning, and AI problems.

To succeed in this role, you have a technical background in data science, data engineering, and/or business analytics. You are passionate about instructional writing, with a focus on clarity, straightforward storytelling, and an information architect's approach to organizing material. The work is going to come fast and furious, but you'll never let up on your advocacy for the customer. 

If you’re excited to work with some of the industry’s brightest innovators in data and AI, we want to talk to you. 

What you’ll do

• Write high-impact documentation for all parts of the data science and data engineering lifecycle, including deployment and configuration guidance for IT and DevOps engineers, user guidance for data scientists and data engineers, API and command references, tutorials, walkthroughs, sample apps, and best practices guides.
• Collaborate with engineers and product managers to develop effective, customer-focused documentation.
• Collaborate with customer-facing technical staff (support engineers, solutions architects, developer relations) on best practices, onboarding material, and other scenario-based guidance.
• Help drive a use-case-based information-architecture approach to organizing content.
• Help us continually improve our authoring and production tools and processes.
