About the role
You write the documentation clients actually use: operating procedures, integration guides and release notes. Most of it is read by someone under pressure.
What you will do
- Write and maintain user and operator documentation for live systems.
- Write integration guides a third party developer can follow unaided.
- Produce release notes that say what changed and what to do about it.
- Sit with support to find out what people actually get stuck on.
What you will bring
- Technical writing experience for software.
- Enough technical ability to read an API and try it yourself.
- Ruthlessness about cutting words.
- English, and ideally Bahasa Malaysia.
What we offer
Own real systems
From the first architecture session through to live operation, rather than a slice of someone else's design.
Work with the people you build for
Direct contact with the people using what you build, with no account layer in between.
Ship in increments
Work delivered in two to four week increments, demonstrated and accepted before the next one starts.
Grow on a real budget
An RM 1,000 yearly learning allowance, conference time counted as work, and group insurance cover from your first day.
Who we are
idataraya is a Malaysian software company. We design, build and then operate the systems our clients run their organisations on, for businesses and public institutions across Malaysia.
The engineers who design and build a system are the ones who keep it running afterwards. That is the shape of the whole company, and it is why the roles here look the way they do.
