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.

Our team has a growth mindset and looks for new ways to expand educational impact in the product. As a Google Technical Writer, in addition to writing traditional Help Center content, you will improve user experience with a variety of educational tools, work on cross-Sellside privacy, policy, and regulatory topics covering critical compliance issues, and will create in-product education such as tooltips, guided help, alerts, and notifications.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
