The NVIDIA® CUDA® Toolkit provides a comprehensive development environment for C and C++ developers building GPU-accelerated applications. To help document the CUDA Toolkit and Libraries, we're seeking an experienced technical writer with passion and drive, technical proficiency, and excellent writing and editing skills.

Researching, scoping and managing documentation projects

Gathering, editing, and publishing subject-specific knowledge from subject matter experts and developers

Supporting development teams and delivering high-quality technical content within a fast-paced software release schedule

Contributing to internal templates and standards to build clear and reusable content

Driving the technical review process

Possibly also preparing illustrations, photographs, diagrams, and charts, and assist in graphic layouts.

Possibly writing sample code to demonstrate API usage

What we need to see:

5+ years demonstrated ability working as a technical writer on different types of documentation, particularly API references, developer guides, and user manuals

Authoring experience with Markdown or reStructuredText

Experience with both the "docs as code" model as well as some experience using DITA

Familiarity with C / C++ / Python

Ability to run sophisticated software using Linux and Docker

A curiosity about thinking like a developer and writing the documentation they need

A talent for identifying updates and changes that will affect users and documentation

The flexibility to find whatever method works best to get close to subject matter experts and learn what they know

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Proficiency using Doxygen to document source code

Deep understanding of source control tools (such as Perforce and GitHub) and experience using issue trackers such as JIRA to track project tasks

Experience documenting complex data center-based services and platforms.

Understanding of Deep Learning, neural networks, software frameworks for machine intelligence and system virtualization.
