They’ll be self-motivated, proactive, highly organized, and have a steadfast attention to detail. They’ll work collaboratively with cross-functional teams, particularly with engineers, to ingest and synthesize complex technical information. They’ll also be able to prioritize their own work, communicate effectively, and represent their work to key stakeholders. And of course, they’ll have a passion for, and deep knowledge of, games and games development.

Create a standard workflow for how the information is ingested from Netflix’s games platform engineers and then presented to game developers
Establish the rubric for how changes to the documentation are communicated to cross-functional Netflix teams, as well as external game developer partners (e.g. release notes for new builds and updates)
Work closely with the Product Design team to understand the platform features implemented within the Product UI, in order to ensure the relevant context is presented to the game developers in a useful and usable way
Audit the existing documentation and discover opportunities for improvement and optimization; drive the improvements to implementation through establishing workflows, action items, and collaborative processes
Initiate, define, and lead new Content Design projects from conception to completion across the games documentation product area
Define Content Design workflows and parameters for the work to drive discussion and bring to implementation
Present the Content Design work to key stakeholders, team members, and other Content Designers and Writers for visibility and feedback

Your Skills:

You provide both strategic direction, and hands-on writing/editing

You’re a storyteller at heart who can craft and orchestrate cohesive narratives across touchpoints to different audiences, including internal Netflix stakeholders and external game developers
You’re familiar with the development of design systems and language frameworks
You love a no-holds-barred brainstorm as much as delving into the details; you know how to switch gears between big, fanciful ideas and practical, effective execution

Your Qualifications:

10+ years of relevant writing experience: technical writing, documentation writing, UX writing, content design, information architecture
