For full details, please search for Perfect Market job openings (writer) at www.idealab.com/careers. Perfect Market is seeking a Contract Technical Writer to help document the company's technology platform. This documentation will be a complete explanation of how the current technology platform operates, including an explanation of key software components, database structures, data warehouse structures, automated reporting systems and critical manual processes that impact the system. This document, when complete, should be comprehensive enough to allow new and existing engineers to come up to speed on any portion of the technology platform very quickly and should increase the overall productivity of the engineering team going forward. This is a full-time, contract position. The Contract Technical Writer will need to be capable of documenting software systems, API's, database structures and human processes. This documentation will include diagrams, schematics and written descriptions in each of these areas. A Contract Technical Writer that is capable of reviewing code and database structures and documenting those elements without significant input from an engineer will have a distinct advantage in this role. Candidate will ensure accurate and timely completion of the documentation. Candidate will demonstrate the creativity and initiative to gather the required information for the documentation without prompting or detailed guidance. In order to be effective, candidate will be expected to be in our office in Pasadena, CA a majority of the duration of the contract.
