Technical Writer, Unity Standards

The Opportunity

Unity is seeking a new kind of technical writer to join our Unity Standards team, responsible for writing technical standards to drive consistency and quality throughout our global R&D organisation and beyond.

You will provide guidance and assistance to help take a proposal from idea to draft to published standard, working with area specialists to ensure robustness and accuracy, and validating each standard’s usefulness for the wider Unity community.

Unlike traditional technical writing - where you’d typically write end-user documentation for new products, writing a Unity Standard starts with a developer or Unity team wanting to set a standard. You will help write the details and implement the standard, as well as ensuring validation solutions are available for products to check against the standards.

Working alongside the Brighton-based Release Engineering Group (who are coordinating the release of Unity to millions of developers and billions of end-users), you'll collaborate with multiple teams as well as teams across our European and worldwide offices, with opportunities to travel.

This is a unique opportunity to grow your technical writing skills in a new and exciting area for Unity, and one that will have a direct impact on the quality of our products.

What you’ll be doing

• Writing and editing standards to an exceptionally high level of quality
• Leading, planning, and coordinating standards projects, from idea through to drafting and release
• Working with software developers to help them formulate validation code that implement each new standard
• Helping evolve and improve Unity Standards concepts, tools, viewer UX, processes
• Auditing and maintaining existing standards

What we’re looking for

• Experience in software technical writing
• A passion for writing and language with an impeccable standard of English
• A good understanding of technology and a natural affinity for software development
• A curious mind, willing to ask questions and dig for answers with a talent for simplifying complexity

You might also have

• Software development experience
• Knowledge of JIRA, including workflow creation and administration
• Experience in an Agile environment with distributed teams across different time zones
• Experience in environments certified by international standards bodies
• Familiarity with source control tools and processes
