About the job
In this role, you’ll create documentation that helps developers build with Twilio products. As a Developer Educator, the documentation you’ll create is part of a larger story that tells customers what and how they can build with Twilio.

You’ll work collaboratively with other Developer Educators to create, maintain, and improve our vast product documentation. Because you’ll be writing for developers, you’ll need to have high technical proficiency and be able to test and document APIs, write sample code, and deeply understand the products you’re documenting. As a Developer Educator, you’ll work closely with peers across the organization and will independently seek out information and take the initiative to form close relationships with stakeholders.
Responsibilities

Work collaboratively with other Developer Educators to review, edit, and create developer documentation for feature releases using our docs-as-code platform.

Be an active participant in the team’s Agile processes, including sprint planning, retros, and regular syncs.
Learn about Twilio’s products, and become an advocate for our developers.
