Were looking for a technical writer to join our Tech Writing team someone who thinks in systems as naturally as they think in sentences.

Our documentation practice is already well established with a mature style guide writers who own specific product domains and a workflow where AI-assisted drafting sits alongside traditional technical writing. Your job is to push it forward on two fronts. The first is architectural: defining the metadata taxonomy and context our tooling relies on to produce useful first drafts. The second is editorial: becoming a genuine expert on Brazes platform and bringing the kind of scrutiny that turns a plausible draft into documentation our customers can actually trust accurate well-structured and consistent in voice with every other Braze experience.

- Ensure documentation applies voice style and branding consistent with other client experiences
- Keep improving our documentation and client education experience through feedback-gathering research experimentation and data-driven decisions
- Promote and foster knowledge exchange across teams

- Fluent in information architecture and knowledge management
- A rigorous editor with a sharp instinct for the draft that reads well but says something subtly wrong
- Comfortable with Git Markdown YAML and docs-as-code workflows
- An active practical user of LLMs and AI tooling in your own work youve figured out where they help and where they dont
- Able to explain technical concepts to engineers and to non-technical readers and to know which one youre writing for
- Curious by default: you want to understand why something works the way it does before you document it and youll say so when a plan doesnt hold up

- Excellent interpersonal skills a user-centric team-player attitude and confidence presenting your work and your reasoning
- A relentless advocate for the user experience
