This role requires strong collaboration with engineers, architects, security teams, and program leadership to ensure documentation is both technically accurate and accessible to varied audiences, including auditors, system owners, and end users.

• Develop and maintain system documentation, including configuration guides, operations manuals, and runbooks.
• Create and update FedRAMP ATO documentation packages, such as the System Security Plan (SSP), policies, procedures, and control implementation narratives.
• Document data flows, APIs, integration points, and interoperability standards (FHIR, HL7) for healthcare workloads.
• Produce end‑user guides, quick reference materials, and training content for clinical and administrative users.
• Maintain developer‑facing documentation for APIs, CI/CD processes, testing standards, and coding guidelines.
• Collaborate with engineers and product teams to ensure documentation reflects current system architecture and processes.
• Edit and proofread technical content for consistency, clarity, compliance, and accessibility (Section 508).
• Organize documentation in SharePoint for easy access and version control.
• Support internal and external audits by producing compliance‑ready documentation.
• Ensure all documentation is written in plain language, tailored to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

• Bachelor's degree in Technical Communication, English, Computer Science, or related field, or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of experience as a Technical Writer in IT, cloud, or healthcare domains.
• Proven experience writing documentation for federal programs or regulated industries.
• Strong understanding of Microsoft Azure services (Functions, APIM, SQL, Fabric, Power BI, Entra ).
• Familiarity with FedRAMP, HIPAA, and NIST 800‑53 documentation requirements.
• Excellent written communication, editing, and organizational skills.
• Proficiency with documentation tools such as Confluence, SharePoint, Visio, or Markdown editors.

• Experience supporting FedRAMP ATO processes or healthcare compliance documentation.
• Familiarity with Dev Ops workflows and documenting CI/CD, test automation, and monitoring practices.
• Knowledge of Section 508 accessibility compliance for documentation.
• Certification in Technical Writing (e.g., Society for Technical Communication) or cybersecurity (e.g., CompTIA Security+).

At GDIT, the mission is our purpose, and our people are at the center of everything we do.
