Description

THE ROLE

Modal considers high-quality documentation to be essential for developer experience, and we see docs becoming even more important as agents increasingly deploy and operate Modal Apps. We are looking for a content-minded engineer who will partner with our product teams to curate Modal’s technical documentation and maintain a high quality bar across multiple dimensions.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Thinking holistically about content architecture and how the docs should evolve as Modal introduces new products and features
  • Innovating on novel documentation formats and delivery channels to optimize agent productivity, in collaboration with our Agent DX research team
  • Developing content standards, style guides, and automated enforcement mechanisms to ensure consistent style and high quality
  • Building and maintaining automated pipelines that will enforce the correctness of code examples and prose descriptions
  • Collaborating with engineers across the company to author documentation that is clear, consistent, and correct

REQUIREMENTS

  • 3+ years of experience in an engineering, product, or developer relations role, ideally in the devtools or infrastructure space
  • Experience authoring and/or editing high-quality technical content for developers
  • Knowledge of agentic engineering workflows and best practices
  • Comfort with modern software development practices (version control, CI/CD, testing)
