Web Developer Technical Writer information

What is a Web Developer Technical Writer?

A Web Developer Technical Writer is a professional who specializes in creating clear, accurate, and user-friendly documentation for web development tools, frameworks, APIs, and processes. They combine their knowledge of web development technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and various frameworks with strong writing skills to produce guides, tutorials, reference manuals, and other technical documents. Their work helps developers and end-users understand how to use web development products effectively and troubleshoot issues. Web Developer Technical Writers often collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to ensure documentation is accurate and up-to-date.

How does a Web Developer Technical Writer typically collaborate with engineering and product teams during the documentation process?

A Web Developer Technical Writer often works closely with engineering and product teams to ensure documentation is accurate, up-to-date, and user-friendly. This collaboration usually involves attending meetings to understand new features, reviewing technical specifications, and sometimes testing the software themselves. Effective communication is key, as technical writers must clarify complex technical concepts and gather feedback to improve the documentation. As part of an agile environment, they may participate in regular sprints or stand-ups, ensuring that documentation evolves alongside the product.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Web Developer Technical Writer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Web Developer Technical Writer, you need a solid background in web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), strong written communication skills, and often a degree in computer science, communications, or a related field. Familiarity with technical documentation tools (like Markdown, Git, and CMS platforms) and experience using code editors or IDEs are typically required. Attention to detail, the ability to simplify complex concepts, and a collaborative mindset are standout soft skills in this position. These skills ensure accurate, user-friendly documentation that bridges the gap between developers and end-users, supporting effective product adoption and troubleshooting.

Job description

Web and Digital Studio Lead (Associate I) 
Alta Planning + Design seeks an experienced Web and Digital Studio Lead (Associate I) to lead and help grow the digital capabilities within our TDM Marketing & Creative Services team. This role is ideal for a hands-on technical leader who can guide a multidisciplinary digital team while also contributing directly to complex websites, web applications, data-driven tools, marketing technology solutions, integrations, and other digital products. 
The Web and Digital Studio Lead will help shape how Alta approaches digital work across the firm, from client-facing websites and interactive tools to marketing technologies, data integrations, automation, and emerging digital services. The role combines technical leadership, team management, project delivery, and strategic development, with the opportunity to strengthen the systems, standards, and capabilities that support Alta's growing digital portfolio. 
About Alta's TDM Marketing & Creative Services Group 
Alta's Marketing & Creative Services team brings together strategists, marketers, designers, and digital developers to help clients communicate complex ideas, engage audiences, and inspire action. Our work spans branding, campaigns, communications, graphic design, digital strategy, websites, interactive tools, and technology-enabled experiences. 
Within this team, the Web and Digital Studio supports web-based and digital products and services across Alta's client portfolio. The team partners closely with Marketing & Creative Services staff as well as planners, engineers, GIS specialists, civic data analysts, and project teams across the firm to create digital solutions that support both client needs and Alta's broader services. As our digital work expands, the team is increasingly working across full-stack development, data visualization, APIs and system integrations, marketing technologies, automation, GIS-enabled tools, and other emerging digital applications.

  • Lead full-stack development of websites, web applications, dashboards, calculators, and data-driven tools from specifications, wireframes, and mockups through deployment
  • Establish technical architecture and development approaches - front-end and back-end frameworks, databases, APIs, data integration, hosting, security, and analytics
  • Build interactive data visualizations that let users explore information by geography, time, scenario, or demographics
  • Integrate GIS data and web mapping platforms (ArcGIS Online/Portal, ArcGIS Feature Services, StoryMaps, Mapbox, or similar) into web products
  • Develop or coordinate Python-based data processing, automation workflows, and APIs
  • Oversee integrations with external databases, CRMs, CDPs, and marketing platforms such as Salesforce, HubSpot, or Ortto
  • Ensure products meet accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA or current client requirements) across design, development, and testing
  • Lead QA/QC for code, integrations, responsive behavior, and final deliverables

Strategic Leadership & Team Management (15%)
  • Lead and mentor the Digital Studio team - workload management, technical QA, skill development, and performance feedback
  • Assign and rebalance work based on staff capacity, technical fit, and project needs
  • Provide technical direction and escalation support for complex development challenges
  • Oversee technical contractors and vendors, including scope, budget, and quality
  • Manage web development personnel, including reviews, goal-setting, and day-to-day supervision

Corporate Marketing, R&D & Product Innovation (15%)
  • Identify and apply emerging technologies, open-source frameworks, and development practices to advance Alta's digital offerings
  • Build repeatable development practices, documentation standards, and reusable components across projects
  • Support proposal development and business development by shaping technical approaches, scopes, and budgets for digital work

Workload Balancing & Operational Support (5%)
  • Manage the team's software, platform, and hosting subscriptions, including expense tracking and renewals
  • Maintain accurate inventories of websites, domains, hosting environments, and tools used by the team
Required
  • 7+ years of professional full-stack web development experience, including demonstrated leadership of complex web or digital projects from scoping through deployment
  • Prior people management experience, plus experience overseeing technical contractors or vendors
  • Expert-level comfort with core development tooling: VS Code (or similar), Git/GitHub, Docker, WSL or macOS, and CI/CD workflows
  • Advanced experience with the modern front-end ecosystem - JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, CSS/SASS, and frameworks like Vue, Nuxt, Astro, or Vite
  • Working to advanced Python experience with frameworks such as FastAPI or Django; familiarity with PHP is a plus
  • Experience with geospatial/GIS web mapping platforms (ArcGIS, Mapbox, or comparable)
  • Familiarity with dashboard/data visualization tools like Tableau
  • Experience with design/prototyping tools such as Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud
  • Strong client-facing and consultative skills - requirements gathering, discovery, and translating business goals into technical solutions
  • Proactive, clear communication skills, with the ability to explain technical tradeoffs and recommendations to technical and non-technical audiences alike
  • A genuine interest in sustainable transportation, active transportation, transportation demand management, or city planning
Education: Experience in lieu of education is welcome. A bachelor's or associate's degree in computer science, software engineering, information technology, or a related field is a plus.
