Our high performance team helps our clients to build awesome solutions to accomplish their goals and vision. Are you interested in working from home with some of the best talent on the planet?

About You

Experience Level: Senior

[In reference to requisitions 1817]

You love helping and supporting teams to build great software. You have a primary focus on working on preparing the documentation about the project/solution for both internal and external stakeholders based on priorities.

You have 5 years of experience as a Technical Writer with writing end-user documentation on UI websites/apps, as well as being familiar with documenting UI workflows, etc. You have worked with teams before on large and verifiable projects. You have excellent experience planning, shaping, developing, and publishing content for multidisciplinary teams. You have interviewed/worked with subject matter experts (SMEs) to understand, articulate, and document user-facing and technical product information. You’re comfortable writing validation documentation throughout development and testing, as well as documenting design outputs. Experience in an Agile/Scrum development methodology is a must.

Prior experience as a technical writer in long term durations for a technical/web delivery product is considered a plus. Technical background/knowledge is preferred to assist with vendor/internal process oriented documentation, alongside user facing content that can get fully technical. Experience with Jira, Confluence or Atlassian tools in general is a must have.

You have no problem prioritizing and multitasking with minimal supervision. You work independently, researching products and determining the clearest and most logical way to present information to different audiences.

You love learning and understand that software is an ever-evolving world. You enjoy playing with new tech and exploring areas that you might not have experience with yet. You are self-driven, self-learner willing to share knowledge and participate actively in your community.

Having overlap with your team is critical when working in a global remote team. Modus requires all team members to overlap with EST hours daily. In addition, reliable high speed internet is a must.

Things You Might Do
