Job Details
ZALORA Engineering is looking for a Technical Writer.
A Technical Writer communicates complex information clearly, concisely and accurately, and without relying on jargon. As a Technical Writer, your role involves tasks such as writing product guides and conceptual overviews, or codifying the undocumented processes in the engineering team. The Technical Writer is the key link between the various engineering teams, marketing, as well as our external users and developers, tying together many vital but disparate parts of the ZALORA ecosystem.
As a Technical Writer at ZALORA, you will be pioneering the productization of ZALORA’s diverse suite of software services and APIs. This effort is critical for the next phase of ZALORA’s engineering organization, where we seek to level up our alignment with our users, both internal and external. You will communicate with our talented developers through conceptual documentation, detailed developer and user guides, API references, and other online materials. You might have a background as a developer, and write as a hobby; or perhaps you’re an experienced communicator who loves digging deep into code. One thing is for certain – you are passionate about helping developers do amazing things.
At ZALORA Engineering, we hire people with a broad set of technical skills who are ready to take on some of technology’s greatest technical and organizational challenges and make an impact on millions of users.
