Sr. Technical Writer

RDQ125R180

Join Databricks in a period of tremendous growth and innovation. Technical writers here play a critical role in our customer success. You will apply your considerable writing, data, and other technical skills to create compelling content that shows data scientists, data engineers, and data analysts how to use Databricks to seize their biggest data analytics, machine learning, and AI opportunities.

To succeed in this role, you have a technical background in data science, data engineering, and/or business analytics. You are passionate about instructional writing, with a focus on clarity, straightforward storytelling, and an information architect's approach to organizing material. The work is going to come fast and furious, but you'll never let up on your attention to detail or your advocacy for the customer. If you're excited to work with some of the industry's brightest innovators in data and AI, we want to talk to you.
