• Learn and apply style, language, and structure standards for various developer deliverables.

Required Experience/Skills:

• 10+ years of experience creating technical, developer-focused or admin-focused content

• Familiarity with XML and DITA

• Experience with source control software

• Strong understanding of software development concepts

• Exceptional writing and editing skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts in a clear and concise manner.

• Proven ability to conduct in-depth research, gather information from technical sources, and synthesize it into understandable content.

• Demonstrated experience working collaboratively with cross-functional teams, including developers, product managers, and subject matter experts.

• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, adapt to changing priorities, and deliver high-quality content within tight deadlines.

• Meticulous attention to detail to ensure accuracy and consistency in all technical content.

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to effectively communicate complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Desired Experience/Skills:

• Experience with CRM applications (Salesforce familiarity a plus)

• Experience with Salesforce-specific technologies (Apex, Lightning Web Components, etc.)

• Ability to read, understand, and create short code samples in a variety of programming languages
