Design System’s Content Writer

Orbit, Kiwi.com’s design system, and its team are growing. We’re looking for a content writer to create documentation that captivates, educates, and inspires. That’s accessible and enjoyable to use day in, day out.

Our design system’s content writer will have a strategic role in defining patterns for all Kiwi.com products. You’ll work closely with designers and writers on the XD team to elevate and unify design and written content across our web, desktop and mobile experiences. You’ll be Orbit’s pioneering, dedicated content boss.

Orbit

Our mission is to bring order and consistency to all of our products and processes. We already have a fully dedicated team for Orbit (2 designers, 3 developers) which collaborates with the UX and front-end teams. Orbit is in use by all of our designers and developers across Europe (Brno, Prague, Barcelona, Split, and Zagreb). Maintaining a proper feedback loop is of the utmost importance for all of us.

Writing on the daily, you’ll…

• Collaborate with our other product and content writers and localization experts throughout Kiwi.com.
• Work closely with designers to define design & interaction patterns, then document them.
• Engage in regular discussions with stakeholders who work with the design system, collecting & incorporating their feedback for documentation.
• Experiment with different forms of documentation: how-to articles, videos, image previews, dos & don’t.
• Co-ownership of company-wide newsletter discussing major changes to our design system.
• Edit and iterate texts from other team members contributing to documentation.

You’ll ❤️ Brno

The Czech Republic is among the top 10 safest countries on Earth. And, while the country is known for Prague, its beautiful capital, Brno really is a perfect place to live. It provides many opportunities without being overwhelmingly busy. Size matters. It’s big enough to offer all kinds of services, but small enough so that they’re within walking or biking distance. What else does Brno have to offer?

• Tons of historical sights
• Affordable cost of living
• Many public parks, open day and night
• Unique pubs and wine bars
• Lots of great cafés, bistros, and restaurants
• Unexpected cuisine and nightlife
• Cheap, reliable, and fast public transport
• A vibrant university city with about 90,000 students
• Functionalist architecture
• Cultural atmosphere with music, performances, and festivals
• A hub of innovation; international companies supported by government incentives
