• Gather feedback from the developer community to identify gaps in resources and continuously improve content quality.
• Maintain and update existing code examples to reflect API changes and evolving best practices.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong portfolio of technical projects.

• Experience creating technical content such as tutorials, documentation, or educational code samples.
• Strong programming skills in multiple languages, with expertise in at least Python and TypeScript/JavaScript.

• Published technical blog posts, conference talks, or notable open-source contributions.
• Experience building and maintaining developer tools or SDKs.
• Familiarity with multiple programming paradigms and frameworks.
