• Build productive working relationships with software developers and technical subject matter experts.
• Identify opportunities to improve documentation workflows, processes, and tools.
• Programming or scripting ability with languages such as Python.
• Practical experience using Linux.
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI, automation, and scripting technologies to improve productivity, streamline workflows, and solve complex documentation challenges.
• Evaluate and implement AI-assisted approaches to content development, knowledge management, and documentation automation.

Writing:

• Write clearly and accurately.
• Create task-based, conceptual, reference, and process-flow documentation.
• Develop documentation for complex software products and design methodologies.
• Translate sophisticated technical concepts into content that is understandable and actionable for customers.
• Participate in product release documentation activities.
• Create examples, workflows, and diagrams that improve product usability and customer success.
• Leverage AI technologies to accelerate content creation, improve content quality, automate repetitive tasks, and increase documentation scalability.
• Contribute to AI-driven documentation initiatives, including content transformation, release-note generation, knowledge capture, and workflow automation.
• Extensive experience using Oxygen XML Editor and IXIASOFT CCMS or equivalent tools.
• Familiarity with DITA structured documentation.
