What You’ll Be Doing (Responsibilities):
- Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Support teams to identify documentation gaps and prioritize content based on user needs and product roadmaps.
- Design and manage the structural hierarchy for both internal engineering wikis and public-facing documentation.
- Create and maintain standardized templates and style guides.
- Design and implement the "docs-as-code" pipeline, ensuring documentation is built, tested, and deployed in line with the software development lifecycle.
- Act as the lead writer for critical technical artifacts, including API references, architectural overviews, and integration guides.
- Audit and update existing documentation to reflect product changes, ensuring that all content remains reliable and up to date.
- Optimize the content to help users find the right information at the right time.
- Design visual aids, presentations, and learning materials that simplify complex technical concepts.
- Leverage Generative AI tools to accelerate the creation of content while maintaining a human-in-the-loop quality standard.
- Define guidelines for how AI tools are used by the engineering team to ensure technical documentation remains accurate and secure.
What We Look For In You (Required Qualifications):
- 5+ years of experience as a Technical Writer, Information Architect, or Business Analyst.
- Superior written and spoken English. You can present complex technical concepts clearly to a global audience.
- Strong ability to interview subject matter experts and translate complex technical knowledge into accessible documentation.
- Hands-on experience with building product documentation from the ground up, rather than just maintaining existing content.
- Proficiency in Markdown/MDX and Git-based workflows.
- Understanding of blockchain fundamentals, including tokenization (fungible/non-fungible), distributed ledgers, minting, and smart contracts.
- Experience or a strong interest in AI-powered documentation, from leveraging LLMs for content generation to optimizing documentation for AI-driven search (RAG).
Nice To Haves (Preferred Qualifications):
- Hands-on experience with Static Site Generators (Docusaurus, Hugo) and documenting APIs via OpenAPI/Swagger.
- Previous experience managing or leading a team of technical writers or content contributors.
- A degree in Computer Science, Technical Communication, or a related field.
- Experience in Product Management or a product-focused Technical Writing role within an enterprise-level software environment. You understand how to build for B2B customers who demand security, clarity, and scalability.
