Job description

Write reference documentation, integration guides, tutorials, and product documentation
Work in tandem with our current documentation engineer to find new ideas and solutions to current challenges
Co-own the pipeline from OpenAPI spec to published API reference: validation, transformation, and deployment
Build and maintain the scripts and CI jobs
Reduce manual work for the technical writing team through tooling and process improvements
Make deliberate decisions about how documentation is structured for AI agent consumption, not only human readers
Contribute to OpenAPI spec quality by working with writers and engineers on field naming, example coverage, and schema structure, * Docusaurus for the docs site
GitHub and GitHub Actions for content workflows and CI
Scalar for API reference rendering
OpenAPI 3.x as the single source of truth for API docs
JavaScript/TypeScript for tooling and site customization
Claude for AI-assisted workflows

Requirements

Developer empathy. You approach and write docs to increase an integrating engineer’s efficiency. You can produce clear, accurate content, not just tooling around it
You can write code without AI as a crutch. You write scripts, debug error output, and ship working solutions independently
Comfort with JavaScript/TypeScript. Our tooling uses it throughout
Fluency with CI/CD pipelines
Experience working with or reading OpenAPI 3.x specifications
Clear understanding of what makes documentation machine-readable, not only human-readable
Practical experience with AI tools, especially Claude. You use them daily and know how to prompt for useful output
A preference for correctness over volume. You know when to automate and when automation produces noise
