About the job

Technical writers plan, create, and maintain educational content as an integral part of the engineering or user experience. The content is often in the form of documentation, but may also be UI text, sample code, videos, or other educational material. Regardless of the content medium, technical writers are distinguished by their abilities to explain complex topics in a way that’s useful to their audience.

Google Assistant is a private, safe, and secure artificial intelligence powered virtual assistant that enables users to interact using voice or keyboard input to get everyday tasks done more easily than ever before.

Our mission is to enable Google Assistant developers to understand, develop, integrate, test, and launch features on devices to create a seamless interaction experience.

In this role, you will be responsible for working with engineering, technical program management, and product management to document complex technical features and processes. You'll also provide review and support for content developed by engineering stakeholders and manage internal bug reports. You'll have opportunities to collaborate with other technical writers within Google Assistant and across Google around tools, process, and innovation.
