Job description

At Braze, we have found our people. We're a genuinely approachable, exceptionally kind, and intensely passionate crew.

We seek to ignite that passion by setting high standards, championing teamwork, and creating work-life harmony as we collectively navigate rapid growth on a global scale while striving for greater equity and opportunity - inside and outside our organization.

To flourish here, you must be prepared to set a high bar for yourself and those around you. There is always a way to contribute : Acting with autonomy, having accountability and being open to new perspectives are essential to our continued success.

Our deep curiosity to learn and our eagerness to share diverse passions with others gives us balance and injects a one-of-a-kind vibrancy into our culture.

If you are driven to solve exhilarating challenges and have a bias toward action in the face of change, you will be empowered to make a real impact here, with a sharp and passionate team at your back. If Braze sounds like a place where you can thrive, we can't wait to meet you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

We're looking for a Senior Technical Writer to oversee and lead our developer and partner documentation. In this position, you will have a unique opportunity to elevate the quality and effectiveness of our documentation. Your ownership will range from writing SDK integration instructions, documenting sample apps, and managing a continuous cycle of Braze's many third-party integrations. The ideal candidate will have experience writing both sample code and documentation geared towards developers and a holistic understanding of how to package it all together. Join us in this impactful role and be at the forefront of shaping our customer journey.

Key job responsibilities :

  • Write high-quality content for Braze's technical documentation resources, producing valuable information and guidance for marketers, product managers, data analysts, and engineers
  • Collaborate closely with Product Management, Engineering, Marketing, Customer Success, and Data teams to launch documentation for new features
  • Own maintenance of the documentation GitHub repository
  • Ensure that documentation applies voice, style, and branding consistent with other client experiences
  • Drive documentation as a product, owning and managing not only its content but also its roadmap, presentation, navigation, search function, analytics, and SEO
  • Continually make improvements to documentation and our client education experience through feedback-gathering, experimentation and data-driven decisions
  • Become an expert on Braze's product and the mobile marketing industry
  • Elevate the standard of technical writing at Braze by implementing cutting-edge methodologies, introducing new technologies and processes, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement

WHO YOU ARE

  • 5+ years of experience in technical writing, including managing documentation
  • Excellent interpersonal skills and a user-centric, team-player attitude
  • Thorough understanding of GitHub processes and best practices (are you a whiz with the terminal?)
  • Experience with Algolia, Postman, Vercel, and the Atlassian suite
  • Have familiarity with common documentation portal tools, such as Postman, Jekyll, and Swagger UI.
  • Have familiarity with website maintenance and deployment tools, such as Vercel, Heroku, Cloudflare, etc
  • Experience managing an open source project or documentation repository
  • Experience writing about technical products, including SDKs and APIs, as well translating technical concepts into non-engineer friendly content
  • Project management skills including experience managing multiple projects at once, setting deadlines, and working with frequently shifting priorities
  • Coding experience is a plus
  • For candidates based in the United States, the pay range for this position at the start of employment is expected to be between $68,400 and $108,900 / year with an expected On Target Earnings (OTE) between $76,000 and $121,000 / year (including bonus or commission).
