The Documentation team at Unity is growing and we’re looking for a technical writer to join us on our mission to deliver great docs to our users. You might be an experienced technical writer who can teach us a thing or two, or a game developer with a passion for writing who is looking for their next challenge.

Whatever your background, you'll be a great technical writer at Unity if you have:

• A passion for writing, language and communication
• An understanding of technology and a natural affinity for IT
• A talent for simplifying complexity

You’ll be working on the Graphics Documentation team. We are responsible for planning, creating, and maintaining all of the documentation relating to Unity's graphics technology.

There’s no set path to becoming a good technical writer, so we’re not concerned about specific university degrees or experience; if you have the right skills, then we can teach you anything you need to know. And if you bring considerable skills and experience, then we want to learn from you too.

When you join us, you’ll work collaboratively with developers across the globe to produce great documentation that simplifies, explains, and empowers users to get the most from Unity products. This includes a mix of writing from scratch, revising draft documents supplied by developers, and overhauling legacy content.

You’ll be part of a talented, dynamic team of technical writers, content managers and information architects working across countries and timezones to support a passionate, growing community of developers and artists (around 1 million Docs visitors per month).

Requirements

• Impeccable standard of written and spoken English
