Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience writing API documentation (RESTful, GraphQL, etc.)
- Comfortable reading code (Python, Java, or similar) and using developer tools like Postman, GitHub, and CLI environments
- Deep experience with ReadMe or similar documentation platforms. Knowledge of Markdown and "docs-as-code" workflows is essential
- A forward-thinking mindset regarding AI. You should be familiar with LLMs and how structured documentation feeds into AI-driven support and development tools
- An obsessive eye for detail. You understand that in the world of APIs, a single missing character can break an integration
- Ability to distill highly complex backend logic into simple, actionable guidance for external partners
- Ability to manage varied workloads and tight timelines, communicating across multiple time zones
- High emotional intelligence. People enjoy working with you!
- An inspiring portfolio that showcases how you approach API documentation
What the job involves
- At Addepar, we’re empowering a global ecosystem of partners to build on our platform. To achieve this, we must provide developers with world-class resources that empower them to deliver their best work
- This role isn’t a traditional writing role. Instead, you’ll sit at the intersection of writing and experimenting with the latest AI documentation tools
- As our technical writer for API docs, you’ll be the primary architect for developer-facing content. Beyond that, you’ll also define how Addepar leverages AI and automation to ensure our technical content remains current, correct, and complete
- You’ll report to the Head of Design for Platform Adoption
- 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
Our take
Investment advisers require speed, clarity and flexibility when managing client portfolios. Addepar is a wealth management software platform created with these requirements in mind. The platform aggregates portfolio, market, and client data in one place, allowing financial professionals to analyze and visualize the data they need.
Addepar currently tracks around $9 trillion of assets serving over 1,400 clients, including individual advisers, family offices, and large institutions such as AllianceBernstein, Bartlett Wealth Management, and Morgan Stanley.
The multi-unicorn company has been pursuing global expansion, opening its first office outside of the United States in Scotland in 2021 and a new London office in late 2022. It appointed new leadership members from companies like Oracle and Amazon Web Services. A Series G investment in 2025 is helping further accelerate its momentum as it continues to innovate its suite of solutions.
