Job Description

We are a British metaverse technology company that builds interconnected, immersive virtual worlds. Our technology, expertise, creativity and services help partners – including entertainment companies, game creators and public institutions – realise their ambitions in the metaverse.
It is our strong belief that the metaverse is an opportunity for positive change. It will help communities connect and exchange at scale, and evolve how we work, play and create. At Improbable, you’ll be surrounded by people motivated to solve the hard challenges that enable us to bring these transformative worlds to life and shape the future.
As a Technical Writer at Improbable, you’ll be integral in making sure that our Community has the information and resources they need to use our technology successfully.
This will be a 3-month rolling contract.

Your Opportunity

  • Depending on what’s needed, you’ll write, improve, maintain, review, and delete documentation, in collaboration with engineers across the company, QA, and product managers. We have a strong culture of developers contributing to our docs, so collaborating with developers on what they write is a big part of the job.
  • You’ll also keep a close eye on user feedback, and use it to prioritise what technical writing work we should do next and to advocate for improvements to our technology.

Why You're Made for This

  • Excellent English written communication skills.
  • Passion for learning about complex technical topics and explaining them clearly (ideally in writing).
  • Review other people’s writing and give constructive feedback skills in thinking about/understanding the audience you’re writing for.
  • Experience writing developer documentation.

  • The following would also be advantageous:

  • Understanding of the technical domain.
  • Previously writing technical documentation for Metaverse or Games Technologies.

This role is available as remote, hybrid or in-office. We have a great office space in Spitalfields in London but are equally happy if you'd prefer to work from home some, or all of the time. We are 'Flexa' certified, meaning our entire employee experience is anchored around flexibility and autonomy.
While we think the above experience could be important, we’re keen to hear from people that believe they have valuable experience to bring to the role. If you identify with the team and mission, but not all of our requirements, then please still apply.
