Overview
In this role, you will be responsible for creating clear, structured, and highly technical documentation for internal engineering systems, partnering closely with senior developers and infrastructure teams. You’ll apply a strong foundation in software engineering along with hands-on knowledge of cloud and Dev Ops environments—Azure Gov Cloud, infrastructure provisioning with Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, PostgreSQL operations and disaster recovery, configuration management, and observability best practices. You’ll produce concise how-to guides, installation and troubleshooting procedures (Power Shell/Bash), and standardized content organized for developer audiences using defined templates. Success in this role requires proficiency with Confluence, Git Hub, Jira, and diagramming tools, plus excellent information architecture skills. You’ll also independently manage limited SME availability through effective interviewing and scheduling, while communicating directly with Directors and Lead Engineers to deliver accurate, user-friendly documentation.
