In doing so, we’re excited and proud to be pushing the envelope across the DeFi ecosystem.

• Ensure consistency in voice, tone, and language  
• Publish and maintain templates that will help scale the written documentation  
• Create, develop, and design public-facing accessible written content and documentation to enhance the experience for our community of developers 
• Contribute to tools and processes that make documentation and software development more efficient, scalable, and collaborative 

The successful candidate will be a self-starter, able to work autonomously to push forward the goals of the company, and will have: 

• 2+ years of technical writing experience
• Demonstrable experience writing API documentation or other developer-focused documentation
