In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input.

- Apply information architecture best practices to organize and present documentation for ease of use, discoverability, and scalability.

- Implement and adhere to style guides, docs-as-code standards, and editorial guidelines to ensure consistency across deliverables.

- Evaluate existing documentation for clarity, completeness, and accuracy; recommend and implement improvements where necessary.

- Clearly explain documentation decisions, tradeoffs, and reasoning to stakeholders and collaborators through written narratives.

Preferred Qualifications

- Minimum 3 years of experience producing developer or product documentation (API docs, integration guides, onboarding materials, tutorials, release notes).

- Expertise in technical writing, information architecture, and editing for mixed technical and non-technical audiences.

- Demonstrated ability to synthesize complex concepts and communicate them simply and concisely.

- Proficiency working with docs-as-code workflows (Markdown, Git, CI/CD), and applying style guides such as Microsoft, Google, or custom guidelines.

- Exceptional written English and attention to detail in grammar, structure, and terminology.

- Experience owning the structure, quality, and strategy of end-to-end documentation sets.

- Background with leading universities or highly regarded organizations is especially valued.
