Role
Who you are
- Great content is produced only with a deep understanding of the topic, which means that beyond being a stellar writer you’ll have a passion for learning and acquiring new knowledge
- You’ll also have the confidence to ask questions, to really probe at matters, and to continually step outside your comfort zone
- The ability to analyse and breakdown complex systems is a core skill, as is the creativity and versatility needed to work through problems and see better solutions
- Minimum BA degree in humanities (Arts) subject – an MA is desirable
- Demonstrated ability to research independently
- Proven desire to learn new knowledge and acquire new skill sets
- A strong analytical mindset and a questioning attitude
- Teamwork and collaboration skills
- Ability to give and receive constructive feedback
What the job involves
- This isn’t your run-of-the-mill content writing job – it’s so much more
- You’ll work across CloudVision’s user interface and Help Center to create micro-copy and long-copy that support and explain product features
- These features can be highly complex and technical, and your ability to reduce that complexity through content is central to what CloudVision is
- You’ll interview and collaborate with members of the entire product team, from designers to developers to customer support and sales engineers and more to understand those features and you’ll offer feedback to improve the product and its features – making writing a two-way dialogue between content and product
- Create, revise, and audit micro-copy on the CloudVision user interface
- Write, revise, and research Help Center articles on product features and workflows
- Contribute to the CloudVision content style guide
- Interview engineers on product features and offer feedback
- Collaborate with and support the design team
- Learn and research computer networking in detail - no previous knowledge is required
- Continually improve and build on your expanding skillset
- Help spearhead the direction we take with content writing
- Use Git, HTML, and CSS to write directly in our code repositories
Application process
- We’re open to different experience levels, but this is a writing position and it is essential to have a well-crafted CV and cover letter as part of your application
- Be sure to demonstrate your ability to write and research and your capacity and desire to learn
Our take
Arista is a supplier of cloud networking solutions, addressing the needs of internet companies, cloud service providers, and enterprises. While the business is not tied to a crowd of large customers, companies are nonetheless attracted to its CloudVision Software - which has the potential to save them a significant amount of money.
The company's growth so far has led to it being seen as a rising star in the computer networking industry. It competes directly with digital giant Cisco, but despite this boasts impressive revenue growth. In fact, Arista has been vocal with its confidence that it can continue to grow at a rapid pace, as it further develops its offering for the networking market.
