At Braze, documentation is infrastructure: a connected, structured body of knowledge that both developers and machines read from, not a collection of individual pages. You'll spend as much time shaping how that knowledge is organized and generated as you will writing it.</p> <p>Our documentation practice is already well established, with a mature style guide, writers who own specific product domains, and a workflow where AI-assisted drafting sits alongside traditional technical writing. Your job is to push it forward on two fronts. The first is architectural: defining the metadata, taxonomy, and context our tooling relies on to produce useful first drafts. The second is editorial: becoming a genuine expert on Braze's platform and bringing the kind of scrutiny that turns a plausible draft into documentation our customers can actually trust — accurate, well-structured, and consistent in voice with every other Braze experience.</p> <p><strong>WHAT YOU’LL DO</strong></p> <ul> <li>Define and maintain the metadata (YAML front matter), taxonomy, and contextual guidelines that our AI-assisted drafting workflows depend on</li> <li>Review and verify machine-generated prose and code samples line by line, checking technical accuracy, edge-case behavior, and voice before anything ships</li> <li>Write and revise API references, integration guides, and conceptual documentation in our docs-as-code environment, owning feature updates end to end</li> <li>Become an expert on the Braze platform, distilling complex functionality into approachable, user-centric language</li> <li>Help oversee and maintain the documentation GitHub repository</li> <li>Work closely with Product Management, Engineering, Support, Customer Success, Marketing, and Implementation teams to pin down how the platform actually behaves and to validate real customer integration paths</li> <li>Organize content so it serves a developer mid-integration and a system retrieving context — the same structure has to work for both</li> <li>Ensure documentation applies voice, style, and branding consistent with other client experiences</li> <li>Keep improving our documentation and client education experience through feedback-gathering, research, experimentation, and data-driven decisions</li> <li>Promote and foster knowledge exchange across teams</li> </ul> <p><strong>WHO YOU ARE</strong></p> <ul> <li>3+ years writing documentation for genuinely technical audiences — APIs, SDKs, or developer platforms — with writing samples that show both range and precision</li> <li>Fluent in information architecture and knowledge management</li> <li>A rigorous editor with a sharp instinct for the draft that reads well but says something subtly wrong</li> <li>Comfortable with Git, Markdown, YAML, and docs-as-code workflows</li> <li>An active, practical user of LLMs and AI tooling in your own work — you've figured out where they help and where they don't</li> <li>Able to explain technical concepts to engineers and to non-technical readers, and to know which one you're writing for</li> <li>Curious by default: you want to understand why something works the way it does before you document it, and you'll say so when a plan doesn't hold up</li> <li>Steady across many stakeholders and comfortable when priorities shift</li> <li>Excellent interpersonal skills, a user-centric team-player attitude, and confidence presenting your work and your reasoning</li> <li>A relentless advocate for the user experience</li> </ul> <p>For candidates based in the United States, the pay range for this position at the start of employment is expected to be between $73,000 and $109,000/year with an expected On Target Earnings (<span data-highlighted="true" data-vc="highlighted-text">OTE</span>) between $81,000 and $121,000/year (including bonus or commission). Your exact offer may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. In addition to cash compensation, this role qualifies for a comprehensive Total Rewards package that includes equity grants of restricted stock (RSUs) so that you will own a piece of our company.</p><div class="content-conclusion"><p><strong>WHAT WE OFFER</strong></p> <p><em>Braze benef
