Company Description

Arista’s CloudVision is a software product that re-imagines how computer networks are deployed, managed, and monitored. Think this sounds niche? Think again. Computer networks are central to almost every part of modern life, from sending an email to making a payment to you even reading this job advertisement. By creating and improving the written content on CloudVision, our writers support a global client base in building a more interconnected world that drives modern life today.​​​​​​​

Job Description

Great content is written with a strong understanding, which means that beyond being a stellar writer you’ll have a passion for learning and acquiring new knowledge. You’ll also have the confidence to ask questions, to really probe at matters, and to continually step outside your comfort zone. The ability to analyse and breakdown complex systems is a core skill, as is the creativity and versatility needed to work through problems and see better solutions.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill content writing job – it’s so much more. You’ll work across CloudVision’s user interface and Help Center to create both micro-copy and long-copy that support and explain product features. These features can be highly complex and technical, and your ability to reduce that complexity through content is central to what CloudVision is. You’ll interview and collaborate with developers, designers, sales engineers and more to understand those features and you’ll offer feedback to improve the product and its features – making content writing a two-way dialogue between content and product.

In this dynamic role, you’ll:

• Create, revise, and audit micro-copy on the CloudVision user interface

• Write, revise, and research Help Center articles on product features and workflows

• Contribute to the CloudVision content style guide

• Interview engineers on product features and offer feedback

• Collaborate with and support the design team

• Learn and research computer networking in detail

• Continually improve and build on your expanding skillset

• Help spearhead the direction we take with content writing

• Use Git, HTML, and CSS to write directly in our code repositories

• Demonstrated ability to research independently

• Proven desire to learn new knowledge and acquire new skill sets

• A strong analytical mindset and a questioning attitude

• Teamwork and collaboration skills

• Ability to give and receive constructive feedback

We’re open to different experience levels, but this is a writing position and it is essential to have a well-crafted CV and cover letter as part of your application. Be sure to demonstrate your ability to write and research and your capacity and desire to learn.
