Become a Key Player as a Documentation Designer / Content Designer

You will make documentation clearer, more consistent, and more useful so designers and engineers can reliably use the design system. Your work will shape usage guidelines, accessibility guidance, and reference material that reduces friction across product teams. You will partner closely with designers and engineers to capture intent and translate decisions into practical documentation.

Here's How You'll Make an Impact on the Team

Audit existing component documentation to identify gaps, inconsistencies, and standardization opportunities
Write and refine usage guidelines, do's and don'ts, accessibility guidance, and component-specific content
Partner with design system designers to capture intent behind component decisions and translate that into reference material
Shape information architecture and voice so people can find and trust documentation
Create visual assets (diagrams, mockups, component examples) to support written documentation

Here's What You'll Need to Be Successful in This Role

5+ years of experience in product design, content design, or technical writing for design systems or developer-facing products
Prior experience designing for and documenting a design system (internal or public)
A strong portfolio of written work, including usage guidelines, design system documentation, or similar reference material
Clear point of view on structure, voice, scannability, and appropriate level of detail for documentation
Comfort matching an established design system voice and working inside an established system
Excellent written communication and attention to consistency at scale
Ability to work independently, ask sharp questions, and ramp quickly
In-depth knowledge of best practices for Android (Material Design) and iOS (HIG)

Here's What Else Might Help You Out

Familiarity with comparable systems (Material, Polaris, Fluent, Carbon)
Working knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG) and how to write about them clearly
Comfort reading component specs and engineering documentation
Experience collaborating with both designers and engineers on shared documentation
