Software Engineer Documentation Specialist

DevDocs hires developers to help our clients build amazing docs. It sounds simple, but it's incredibly rare in the technical writing world to hire software developers. We've been around for over three years (self-funded), working on all kinds of projects for several clients likeQualcommorAmericanExpress.

This role is specifically hiring for a full-time in-person placement at C3.ai's office at 1400 Seaport Blvd, Redwood City . You'll be working alongside other in-person DevDocs engineers to map how C3's product works.

We're looking for curious, driven devs who want to:

1. Work directly with clients to understand their biggest pain points and solve them.
2. Deliver real value through both code and written documentation (yes, sometimes you'll write docs, but the focus is on using your dev skills to improve them).
3. Collaborate with a team of developers who genuinely enjoy what they do.
4. Leverage every tool in the toolbox code, AI, CLINE, software like Pipedream, manual writing, or whatever else helps us create great docs efficiently.

We will teach you how to write docs well using our methodologies, tools, and insights. That is what we have spent the last 3 years learning, so you are not expected to be an expert in it.

You are expected to be able to learn at a deep level how C3's enterprise software works, read source code, write code to see how the system works, and meet with subject matter experts to extract how to use C3's software. This job involves a large amount of learning on a continuous basis.

DevDocs would be hiring you to collaborate with C3 and our in-person team to write useful docs. You'll:

• Learn how C3's product works from senior engineers, looking at code, and using the C3 platform.
• Train with our experienced engineers on how to write effective docs.
• Write documentation using DevDoc's methodology explaining what C3's product is, how it works (in full technical detail), and how to use it.
• Use AI, custom scripts, and other software tools to speed up writing high quality docs.
• Clearly communicate what you are working on and what you need.
• Pitch in on internal DevDocs product developmentwhether that's building new automation tools or refining existing processes.

Requirements

• 4+ years of software development or computer engineering
• A Bachelor's (or equivalent) in an engineering or scientific field.
• Ability to work directly with clients, managing expectations, and learning what they care about.
• You like side projects, whether they're coding-related or notyou're always teaching yourself something new.
• Unfortunately, we are not able to sponsor H-1B visas at this time or contract C2C with visa sponsors.

Benefits

• $75/hr to $150/hr based on experience. ($144,300 to $288,600 salary equivalent)
• 1099 contract
