Own the entire docs surface: audit, restructure, and continuously improve existing content
Write and maintain reference docs, guides, and code examples across the full API and SDK
Build the systems and standards that will govern docs as the product scales
Partner closely with engineering to ship docs alongside features, not after
Develop and maintain code examples that are accurate, idiomatic, and actually useful to developers
Think proactively about how LLMs and agents interact with Turnkey's docs — structure, format, and maintain content with machine readability and agentic use in mind

High agency executor: identifies what needs to exist, builds it, ships it
Forward-thinking about the future of docs: has a point of view on LLM-optimized content, agent-accessible APIs, and modern tooling for keeping docs fresh and accurate
