- Review API/SDK/CLI usability with engineering and suggest improvements while documenting.
- Instrument docs (Google Analytics or similar) to find gaps and prioritize fixes; track search success and task completion.
- Leverage AI to accelerate development of documentation, code-snippet generation, and stale-content alerts.

- Hands-on with OpenAPI/Swagger, Redoc/Stoplight/Swagger UI; Postman/cURL; auth flows, pagination, and webhooks.
- Comfortable reading and writing code (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Bash) to produce runnable examples.
- Docs-as-code: Markdown/MDX or reStructuredText, Git/GitHub PR reviews, CI (link checks, doctests).
- Experience using documentation tools such as Hugo, Sphinx or Read the Docs.
- Initiative using AI tools to improve quality and speed across the doc lifecycle.
- Degree in IT or equivalent experience.
- Proficiency in English.
It would be nice if you have
- Background in computer vision/ML.
- Proficiency in Python programming.
- Familiarity with Kanban/modern SDLC.
