About the role

  • Collaborate with product managers to define content strategy for new releases as they move from private preview to full release.
  • Suggest changes to UI text that improve the user experience and reduce the need to "document the UI".
  • Provide feedback on new features by testing them hands-on and helping engineering teams find edge cases and bugs before they ship to customers.
  • Plan content based on user needs by working with customer success and go-to-market teams to identify what information different personas need to complete their job and how best to provide it.
  • Create technical documentation including API docs, integration guides, tutorials, troubleshooting guides, and reference materials.
  • Build content systems that scale through templates, style guides, and docs-as-code workflows.
  • Test and validate what you document by running code examples, calling APIs, and reproducing scenarios yourself.
  • Gather and act on feedback from usage analytics, support tickets, and conversations with customers.

Requirements

  • Written technical documentation for developer, security, or enterprise admin audiences such as API docs, integration guides, or technical reference materials.
  • Documented complex technical concepts for multiple skill levels, from beginners to experts.
  • Worked with docs-as-code workflows using Git, markup languages, pull requests, and documentation tooling.
  • Tested and used the products you documented - you don't just write about features, you understand them through hands-on experience.
  • Collaborated with engineering teams in fast-moving environments where you need to find a balance between content scope and shipping deadlines.
Benefits
  • Compensation & Equity: Competitive salary, clear performance-based incentives, and equity package, making you an integral part of XBOW’s growth story.
  • Career Growth: Significant opportunities to progress within the sales organization and shape your career trajectory as we scale.
