Technical Writer

 


Amazon.com is looking for an exceptional technical writer to join our Voices team, a group dedicated to drive platform improvements based on community feedback and involvement. We help to ensure that the experience of Amazon's partners is smooth and problem-free.  Our client base is growing rapidly, and as a technical writer on this team, you will lead initiatives to develop documentation and training that new and existing clients will depend on to help them quickly and efficiently launch and manage their stores on Amazon’s website.  You will also design and write documentation and training for use internally by Amazon employees, who must interact with our clients on a daily basis, to help them through all phases of the client lifecycle: from sales, through the development and data integration process, and on into operational maintenance of the Web site solutions we provide them. 

 



The successful candidate will exhibit outstanding skills in writing about complex subjects for an audience with a wide range of experience levels.  You should be self-directed and effective working independently, yet equally comfortable contributing in a team environment.  You should have a demonstrated affinity for technology and software and a genuine desire to consolidate and streamline workflow. You must have a strong background in technical writing or editing (3-5 years experience) and information design. Precise documentation and clear communication skills are essential to your success in this role.  Familiarity with HTML, JavaScript, XML, and SOAP is highly desired.  A bachelor’s degree in technical writing, journalism, English Literature, or a related field is required. 

Candidates should submit a resume and original writing samples.
