- Developing content standards, style guides, and automated enforcement mechanisms to ensure consistent style and high quality

- Building and maintaining automated pipelines that will enforce the correctness of code examples and prose descriptions

- Collaborating with engineers across the company to author documentation that is clear, consistent, and correct

REQUIREMENTS:

- 3+ years of experience in an engineering, product, or developer relations role, ideally in the devtools or infrastructure space

- Experience authoring and/or editing high-quality technical content for developers

- Knowledge of agentic engineering workflows and best practices

- Comfort with modern software development practices (version control, CI/CD, testing)
