I work for Expert Support Inc., a contract technical communication company headquartered in Mountain View, California. We have about 30 writers on staff and do contract technical writing for a variety of companies in the area. I am looking for some really really good technical writers to add to our staff.
Most of my customers are looking for someone to be part of an agile development team, someone to be present on-site every day sitting with the programmers. They want someone with demonstrated Javascript or Java API experience, XML or JSON object representation experience, SOAP object protocol experience, RESTful application architecture knowledge and experience with Javadocs (or some similar in-source tools) and Wiki or Confluence experience. They will often accept something less, but that´s what they want.
These customers are, for the most part, developing services to make mobile computing (read smartphones and iPads) applications possible. You know that weather app you have on your iPhone? It only works because someone wrote an API for weather services and then an app that uses that server. My customers want writers to be part of those development teams.
I know that this list of proficiencies is a tall order in that there are lots of tickets on that list, but none of the tickets are particularly hard to get. You don´t need to have written JSON-related documentation, but you do need to know what JSON looks like and how JSON object representation differs from XML object representation. And it wouldn´t hurt if you could tell which one you preferred and why.
If you live in the area (Northern California) and if you have a resume that demonstrates the relevant experience, please send a copy of your resume (pdf preferred) to jobs@xs.com.
You can also find out more about Expert Support from our antiquated web site, www.xs.com. The shoemaker´s children have no shoes, but the shoemaker is working on them and they´ll be done Real Soon Now. We hope.
