Summary

Join Vercel as a DX Engineer and collaborate with cross-functional teams to elevate the quality of our development tools, workflows, and documentation. You will ensure our solutions are user-friendly, our documentation is accessible to all skill levels, and our developer community is thriving. Responsibilities include creating high-quality documentation, educating the developer community, and providing solutions to customer problems.

Requirements

• You bring at least five years of experience as a Developer Relations, Developer Experience Engineer, or related role, with a proven track record of creating impactful documentation
• You know frontend tools such as TypeScript, Next.js, and Vercel
• You are proficient in MDX, Markdown, and Git workflows, enabling you to create efficient and interactive documentation
• You excel in communication and collaboration, thriving in a team environment and contributing to a positive workplace
• You quickly adapt to new domains, learning and articulating complex concepts into clear, comprehensive content
• You focus on putting the reader first, ensuring documentation is accessible and engaging
• You understand and apply various content types effectively in your technical writing
• When applying, please include a writing sample that showcases your ability to explain technical concepts. This could be a blog post, tutorial, or documentation you’ve created. Applications without a writing sample will not be considered

Responsibilities

• Ensure we ship solutions we’d use ourselves: We are design partners alongside building the product. We dogfood and test the latest features of the AI SDK to find pains or papercuts. We have a refined taste for what makes great DX. We should be using the product every day, testing changes before things go live
• Ensure our docs must be easy enough for beginners to navigate and understand, while also powerful enough to support our deeply technical products
• Grow and educate our community of developers: The most popular developer tools have helpful, positive, growing communities. Developers can talk to other developers to get help. They feel heard and supported. They learn about how to effectively use the product from community experts
• Share best practices with the community, by creating canonical, high-quality examples of how our products work. From this hands-on building, we learn what is working (or not working) and share it back with the product teams
• Ensure customer problems have hyperlinks with solutions: Figuring out solutions to customer problems is also not a solo mission. It’s highly cross functional. We must be truth seeking. Sometimes this means documenting workarounds. Give customers a path forward. Having hyperlinks is how we follow up with customers to close the loop

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package, including equity
• Inclusive Healthcare Package
• Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills
• Flexible Time Off
• We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed
