As a Technical Content Writer, you will be responsible for developing in-depth, accurate, and consumable technical content across Odoo’s content marketing pipelines, which include: Technical Documentation, Product Tours, eLearning, Microcontent, and Whitepapers.

Writers learn and become proficient in pushing/pulling documentation markup on GitHub, write scripts for large audiences across eLearning and product tour pipelines, and work hand-in-hand with other writers, team leads, content producers, and motion designers to bring their work to life.
