About the job

Technical writers plan, create, and maintain educational content as an integral part of the engineering or user experience. The content is often in the form of documentation, but may also be UI text, sample code, videos, or other educational material. Regardless of the content medium, technical writers are distinguished by their abilities to explain complex topics in a way that’s useful to their audience.

In this role, you have the opportunity to lead and help create quality, user-focused content for the Networking products of Google Cloud.

Within these parameters, you can choose how you'd like to solve these problems. There are opportunities to work with UX research, on tooling, or dig deep into the technology. We strongly believe there are multiple paths to success!
