As product and development teams in our Chicago tech hub start building solutions, we need an experienced technical writer/programmer writer to partner with them and our documentation teams in Amsterdam. You will work on new products and features that will be built out of our Chicago office.

What we do

We create and maintain Adyen’s external documentation (https://docs.adyen.com), and API Explorer (https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer). For more information on our API Explorer, check out our Tech blog post "Improving the developer experience with OpenAPI Specification'' (https://www.adyen.com/blog/improving-the-developer-experience-with-openapi-specification).

What you’ll do

  • Lead, plan, align documentation initiatives and content projects with different teams and functions in our Chicago tech hub and more.
  • Write technical documentation for our external developer audience. You will write documentation for SDKs and APIs, including references, and conceptual and integration guides.
  • Deliver clear and concise documentation.
  • Support content design and layout.
  • Think of concepts and solutions to automate and optimize our docs.
  • Review and help improve content created by other technical writers and non-writers, and drive best practices in technical writing.

Who you are

  • You have extensive experience in writing documentation for APIs and SDKs, based on a clear understanding of user goals and motivations.
  • You are proficient in using Git and working with a docs-as-code workflow.
  • You have experience in leading cross-team documentation projects and initiatives, such as restructuring documentation and coming up with documentation processes. 
  • You enjoy working with developers, product owners, and other technical writers to deliver quality documentation.
  • You speak your mind and you like to take ownership. You work with other teams to define documentation strategy, improve user experience, and make better documentation tools.
  • Experience developing with programming languages such as Java, Python, C#, PHP, Ruby, or others is a plus.
  • Open to some domestic and international travel.
