Technical Writer Intern
About this role
The opportunity
The Documentation team at Unity is growing! We’re looking for university students with excellent writing skills, a natural curiosity for exploring and understanding technical concepts, and someone who wants to get hands on with Unity to join the Documentation team.
As a technical writer intern, you’ll work with developers who make some of the latest Unity features, and translate what they make into valuable user documentation that is seen by millions of people who use Unity. There is a lot of scope to help our users, by using their feedback from the Unity Forums, Twitter and the User Manual website to improve our documentation and explain and demystify highly technical problems.
We will support you in forming good working relationships with developers across the globe, and you’ll be mentored by the Documentation team, which is made up of developers and writers alike, to produce great documentation that simplifies, explains, and empowers users to get the most from Unity products.
