Content Engineer, Developer Documentation

Position Overview

We’re looking for a Documentation Engineer / Technical Writer who owns documentation end-to-end as a product, not just as content. This is a unique role for someone who can ship excellent developer documentation and also build/maintain the documentation toolchain (docs-as-code, site build, CI checks, automation), so docs quality scales with product velocity. This role is hands‑on and technical, with deep multi‑functional partnership.

You will influence tooling, workflows, and standards, not just author pages. You will see features early, validate them in practice, and translate that into clear, usable documentation that developers trust!

• Own documentation for assigned products from initial requirements through publication and long‑term maintenance, including getting started guides, conceptual docs, SDK and API references, examples, and troubleshooting.
• Work closely with engineers, product managers, QA, and support to extract technical knowledge, validate accuracy, and ensure documentation is ready when features ship.
• Build and evolve our docs‑as‑code platform, improving repository structure, build and publish workflows, templates, and CI checks. This includes automating reference documentation where possible and adding guardrails that prevent defects from recurring.
• Continuously identify documentation gaps, broken flows, and quality issues, and drive them to closure through both content fixes and tooling improvements.
• Span Documentation, Developer Experience, and Platform Engineering; write content, contribute code, improve CI, and refine documentation workflows.

• A bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience, with a proven track record in technical writing, documentation engineering, or developer documentation roles.
• 5+ years of overall experience.
• Comfortable working in docs‑as‑code environments using Git-based workflows, Markdown or re Structured
  
  Text, and modern documentation platforms such as Fern or similar systems.
• Ability to collaborate with deeply technical partners, work independently, balance priorities, and take full ownership of documentation outcomes across multiple repositories.
• Excellent editing, information architecture, and content design skills, paired with enough technical depth to validate examples and workflows.

• Experience documenting APIs, SDKs, developer workflows, or infrastructure-level products.
• Experience extending or maintaining large-scale documentation platforms, static site generators, or custom doc tooling (Sphinx, Fern, etc).
• Basic scripting or automation experience, for example, Python or JavaScript, applied to documentation pipelines, validation, or reference generation.

Base salary range: 116,000 USD – 189,750 USD. Eligible for equity and benefits.
