About the position

Technical writers at Google play a crucial role in planning, creating, and maintaining educational content that serves as an integral part of the engineering or user experience teams. This content is primarily in the form of documentation, but it can also include UI text, sample code, videos, and other educational materials. The primary goal of a technical writer is to explain complex topics in a manner that is accessible and useful to their audience, particularly web developers who are eager to learn about the latest features and updates in Chrome. In this position, you will collaborate closely with a diverse team that includes writers, engineers, Chrome software engineers, developer marketing professionals, and ecosystem consultants. Your contributions will help ensure that clear and effective guidance is provided to developers, enhancing their understanding and use of Chrome's capabilities.
