We’re looking for a part-time Java Technical Editor to work with new authors.
You will be working with authors to review their articles and help them with feedback (in video form – screencasts).
All articles are focused on Java, and generally also involve various Spring technologies as well.
Budget and Time Commitment
Overall, you’ll spend around 12-14 hours / month and the budget for the position is 600$ / month.
That budget targets a 12 – 16 articles / month workload (12 x 1250 words or 16 x 1000 words articles).
And the typical article will take about 2 rounds of review until it’s ready to go. All of this usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes of work for a small to medium article and can take 60 to 90 minutes for larger pieces.
Who is the right candidate?
First – you need to be a developer yourself, working or actively involved in the Java and Spring ecosystem. All of these articles are code-centric, so being in the trenches and able to code is instrumental.
Second – you need to be able to provide feedback via screencasts. These video are informal – they’re generally you explaining what an author needs to improve on their article.
Finally – and it almost goes without saying – you should have a good command of the English language.
What Will You Be Doing?
The goal is to make sure that the article hits a high level of quality before it gets published. More specifically – articles should match the code and style guidelines of the site.
Beyond formatting and style, articles should be code-focused, clean and easy to understand. Sometimes an article is almost there, but not quite – and the author needs be guided towards a better solution, or a better way of explaining some specific concept.
