• Plan and deliver documentation for new features, integrations, and releases in sync with the product shipping cycle

• Track documentation quality signals (support ticket themes, community feedback) and report on them regularly

Requirements

• Strong technical writing skills with a portfolio of developer or product documentation
• Ability to read and understand code (Python, YAML, REST APIs) well enough to write accurate technical content without constant hand-holding from engineers
• Good understanding of smart home hardware and electronics, with the ability to troubleshoot basic issues independently
• Experience with docs-as-code workflows (Git, Markdown, static site generators such as MkDocs or Docusaurus)
• High autonomy and self-direction — able to identify what needs to be written without waiting to be told
• Strong stakeholder management: knows how to get technical information out of busy engineers efficiently
