**About the role**:
Nintex Technical Writers develop multi-audience technical content for the Nintex Process Platform. They work with a global team of technical writers, content producers, product managers, developers, user experience designers, and operations and security personnel to develop helpful, high-quality content that enhances the understanding, experience, and usage of Nintex products.

Technical Writers at Nintex take the initiative, troubleshoot, and adapt rapidly to change. They take a contemporary approach to technical writing—addressing the user as a person and helping them accomplish their goals (as opposed to documenting every button and menu option in the UI).
