What you’ll do

  • Work closely with engineers, developer support, merchant help, product managers, and various other teams to develop excellent documentation for a variety of audiences.
  • Plan and research to understand the technical details of new products and features to document
  • Deliver clear, concise, and well-structured content for constantly evolving documentation
