Technical writers take complex information and communicate it clearly, concisely and accurately without relying on technical or corporate jargon to explain what they're trying to say. With a unique cross functional perspective, technical writers are the key link between our engineers and cross functional teams. As a Technical Writer, you juggle a variety of projects, from reading and writing example code, to updating FAQs, to drafting product announcements. When a new technical challenge rises to forefront, you are there to defuse it with your clarifying pen (or keyboard, more likely).

As a Technical Writer working on Payments products, you might support some of the world's most popular developer platforms. You will communicate with engineers through conceptual documentation, detailed guides, code samples, API references, and other online materials.

One thing is for certain - you are passionate about helping developers do amazing things.
