Responsibilities
We're looking to hire a programmer-who-writes, or a writer-who-codes.
Here are the kinds of things we’d like to have this person work on:
Documentation.
We’ve always believed that developers should spend time and effort documenting their own code, but at the same time, a great writer with a feel for the technology can raise the level of quality in a way that few developers can. Establishing a culture of great docs is especially important as we grow.
Building tools that support documentation.
So much documentation is auto-generated by our systems, whether as error messages, logs, automated emails, or library docstrings. Getting your hands dirty hacking on documentation-adjacent tools will help not just to a first order, but will also make your other writing more effective.
