The opportunity

At Unity, we believe the world is a better place with more creators. Join us on the Documentation team as we help them succeed!

What we're looking for

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
• Technical knowledge and familiarity with software development workflows and concepts
• The ability to distill sophisticated technical concepts into clear, easy-to-understand, user-focused documentation
• The ability to manage your time well and work in a globally distributed team, maintaining active communication with partners across timezones

You might also have
