·  Participate in assessing and proposing software and methods to continuously improve our documentation processes.

What you bring:

·  Ability to distill complex technical concepts into clear, comprehensive, developer-focused documentation
·  A collaborative, innovative, and solution-oriented spirit
·  Curiosity, resourcefulness, and a whole lot of flexibility
·  Excellent organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills
