In this role, you'll play a part in implementing Adyen's Developer Experience strategy by working with engineers, product teams, technical writers, and external developers to make improvements to our documentation platform. Your goal is to help ensure developers have clear, user-friendly, and accurate resources for building on Adyen.
You'll contribute to our documentation strategy, helping to incorporate developer feedback into our documentation. You'll also assist in shaping the technical direction of our documentation efforts, focusing on improving the product through front-end technical skills and understanding developer needs. Experience with automation and an interest in AI in documentation are a plus.
What You’ll Do

- You’re an effective communicator, able to convey technical information into a clear and concise message- and vice versa.
- You’ve worked closely with product and engineering teams and know how to advocate for user needs in a way that drives meaningful technical improvements. You thrive in cross-functional environments - partnering across engineering, product, implementation, and commercial teams.
- You understand how high-quality integrations and community engagement reinforce one another.
- You're comfortable meeting with external developers and other external parties.
- You can independently gather technical requirements and create a plan to execute those requirements.
