Technical Writer (API Documentation)

Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is a construction web/mobile platform that is changing the way things get built. We believe (deeply!) that our customers and the construction industry deserves a truly great platform to manage the full lifecycle of all of their projects to greater success than currently possible or even imaginable.

A critical part of fulfilling this mission is having a truly GREAT external developer experience, since many customers and partners will create integrations with our APIs. Making this process incredibly intuitive and easy is job one for our DevX team. We will create a developer portal that even your mom can use; one that is best-in-class, award-winning, and encourages/enables extremely low time-to-hello-world (TTHW) and submit-to-publish (STP) rates.

You will engage directly with our awesome product teams; understanding their domains/features, getting really close to their APIs, forming mental models to explain them to others, and create API documentation, tutorials, introductions, and any other materials required to achieve our goals of rapid comprehension and high adoption. You will be a part of a great team of equally strong technical writers who will review each other's work to ensure accuracy and cohesion.

Minimum Qualifications

You are a highly-skilled writer, capable of distilling difficult surface area down to the bare minimum required for a technical reader to rapidly build comprehension. You have a great portfolio with samples that demonstrate this, and you are very proud of them
This isn't your first rodeo; minimum of 4+ years of product-grade SaaS technical writing
You have at least 2 years of API technical documentation design/production.
You used Postman (or some other API client) at your last job and found it useful
You understand APIs and how they work and are gifted at imparting that knowledge to others
You are curious; you don't trust what developers tell you and like to pick things apart and try them yourself. If you weren't such a great writer you'd probably be in QA
You are highly motivated (since you love your work) and very effective at managing yourself to high productivity
You are very open to receiving and giving feedback, because you know that is the path to greatness and you are all about quality
