Job Opening - Menlo Park

Technical Writer

We're looking for an experienced technical writer to help write documentation for developers. The job involves working with the software engineers at Be, helping formulate the API and UI for new elements of the BeOS, trying out the new software, and creating the documentation for it. As a Be writer, you'll contribute to the development of the operating system from the design stage onward. You must be able to cooperate closely with others, but also initiate projects on your own and see them through to completion. You may also be asked to take over projects begun by others. The successful candidate will have excellent writing skills, the ability to present complicated material clearly and simply, and experience writing for an audience of programmers. Knowledge of C (and preferably C++) is required. Familiarity with object-oriented programming, user interface design, and the software development process are pluses -- as are graphics skills and experience with HTML. Technical expertise in an area of software design -- drivers, graphics, networks, telephony, system administration, and so on -- is helpful, but the candidate must be versatile and willing to learn and write about something new.
