Technical Writer - Kraków Development Centre, Poland
We're looking for talented and intellectually curious technical writers for our team. Writers who can apply both intuitive and analytical thinking and quickly understand complex software.

- Contribute to content development efforts and to departmental projects and initiatives.
- Collaborate extensively with Documentation team members in Ireland and the U.S.
To succeed in this role, you must have excellent communication and collaboration skills, a high technical aptitude, a hands-on approach, and a self-motivated attitude. Expect to work in a fast-changing, flexible environment, and to use your own judgment extensively.

- 3+ years of experience writing documentation for enterprise software products
- Excellent writing and communication skills
- Familiarity with HTML, CSS, XML, and related web technologies

- Proficiency with authoring tools such as Adobe FrameMaker and Oxygen XML Author
- Ability to meet aggressive deadlines and prioritize multiple tasks

About the Documentation team
The Documentation team creates and publishes content that helps our users understand technical and business concepts and successfully deploy and customize Guidewire products.
Our audience includes business analysts, technical consultants, and various levels of programmers. Writers must deeply understand the end-to-end behavior of our product features and functionality as well as related configuration files and APIs. We regularly install product builds, dive into the code, and often figure out documentation needs even before we get any developer documentation.
Our custom production, validation, and automation tools enable writers to focus on learning complex information and writing about it, rather than on production work or investigating documentation build problems.
