  • Update documentation to reflect changes in microservices, API endpoints, or Azure/Kubernetes configurations as the project evolves.

Proficiency in technical writing tools (e.g., MadCap Flare, Confluence, or similar) and diagramming software (e.g., Visio, Lucidchart). Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, concise, and user-friendly language. Experience working with development teams in an Agile environment is preferred. Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage multiple documentation tasks concurrently. Bachelor’s degree in technical writing, computer science, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

Preferred Skills - Basic scripting or coding knowledge (e.g., Python, PowerShell) to understand code snippets and test APIs. Experience with Git or other version control systems for managing documentation. Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and their integration with Azure and Kubernetes.
