About Role:

What to expect

  • Produce and maintain API docs, SDK guides, integration walkthroughs, and FAQs
  • Ensure docs are accurate, consistent, and aligned with product behavior and supported use cases

  • Partner closely with product, engineering, and developer experience teams
  • Intake requirements from specs, APIs, and source code—not just verbal guidance

  • Code samples and diagrams (where appropriate)
  • Update and version docs alongside product releases

What success looks like

  • Faster developer onboarding and time to first transaction
  • Fewer “how do I integrate?” support questions
  • Documentation that is publish‑ready, scalable, and reusable across teams and channels

Experience Requirements

  • Proven experience as a technical writer for APIs, platforms, or developer products
  • Strong understanding of REST APIs, JSON, authentication flows, and webhooks
  • Experience documenting integration guides and reference documentation
  • Comfortable working from technical specs, API definitions, and source code
  • Prior exposure to payments, fintech, or B2B SaaS platforms a plus
  • Familiarity with developer portals / docs-as-code workflows (e.g., Git, Markdown, OpenAPI)
  • Able to collaborate effectively with engineering and product teams
  • Track record of producing clear, high-quality, externally published documentation
