Responsibilities

  • Keep pace with product development teams, using style guidance to produce industry-leading API and programming content that flows logically and tells a cohesive story.

  • Commitment to adhering to documented standards and styles
  • Enthusiasm for cross-functional collaboration with people at all levels of an organization
