• Take full ownership of developers.addepar.com, performing regular audits to ensure every endpoint and guide is accurate and functional. • Create high-impact documentation for new features, consolidate redundant information, and proactively archive deprecated content to reduce technical debt. • Rigorously test API documentation against live environments to verify accuracy, ensuring code snippets and examples work as intended. • Evaluate and implement strategies to leverage AI and automation tools that keep content updated in real-time. • Become the internal expert on ReadMe’s suite of AI tools. Implement best practices for automated API documentation and leverage AI-driven insights to improve the developer experience. • Establish workflows that follow automated API documentation guidance to ensure the "completeness" of our technical library. • Work closely with Engineers and Product Managers to translate complex technical specifications into clear, concise, and developer-friendly documentation.
