Technical Documentation Lead, Supabase

• Frontend skills: you must be proficient in Next.js/React. The site is under heavy development, and it will be your task to maintain the docs and create new features
• Supabase experience: you need to know about the Supabase products and benefits better than anyone, so that you can clearly articulate them to developers
• Writing/Editing ability: You write concisely. We like short sentences. We don’t like fluff. You’re not required to write all the docs, but you will be the final checkpoint before they get merged into production
• Previous experience with docs: You know how to structure docs. Have an understanding that your structure is to help search engines find things as well as humans. You understand the communication level of docs. Guides vs Reference Level. Understand how to and when to link to other parts of the docs
• Product Management experience: in this role you will be a bit of a “docs enforcer”, cajoling the Supabase teams to write docs as part of their product development. It’s not done until it’s documented, and it’s your job to make that happen
• Writing experience: the more experience you’ve had with writing the better your writing is going to be
• DevRel experience: The goal of documentation is to give developers the best experience possible
• Community facilitator: You’ll be facilitating and managing GitHub issues and PR’s from open source community members
• You love developer tools. That’s the content you’ll be writing about every day
• You are collaborative. You’ll be working with basically everyone in the company
