Technical writing at NDS has changed. AI generates content. This role shapes, validates, and structures it.
As an IT Technical Writer, you will translate complex technical information into accurate, structured, and usable documentation for internal and external audiences. You will support multiple NDS delivery teams, context-switching across domains without losing consistency or quality. You have hands-on experience with AI tools and a genuine willingness to deepen that fluency as part of your daily workflow. The human value you bring is judgment: knowing when AI-generated content is wrong, incomplete, or structured for the wrong reader - and fixing it.
Nelnet believes in a hybrid work environment that accommodates both in-office and remote work. This model promotes a positive work-life balance and culture, enabling in-person collaboration when possible while also providing benefits associated with remote work. The standard hybrid work schedule includes 24 hours of in-office work each week, for associates that reside within 30 miles of an office. This is subject to change, based on manager discretion.
Pay range for this role is $70,000-$80,000
