• Create clear, practical content such as tutorials, code samples, demos, blog posts, and documentation that help developers understand and build with our technology.
• Get developers from first API call to working product, unblocking them on technical challenges and partnering with engineering on the tricky ones.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to a diverse audience.
• Enthusiasm for networking and building relationships with developers, partners, and the wider community.
• Any experience creating content would be welcome, whether technical writing, documentation, blog posts, videos, or talks, from work, study, open-source, or side projects.
