Job Description
At Weights & Biases, our mission is to build the best tools for AI developers. We founded our company on the insight that while there were excellent tools for developers to build better code, there were no similarly great tools to help ML practitioners build better models. Starting with our first experiment tracking product, we have since expanded our solution into a comprehensive AI developer platform for organizations focused on building their own deep learning models and generative AI applications.
Weights & Biases is a Series C company with $250M in funding and over 200 employees. We proudly serve over 1,000 customers and more than 30 foundation model builders including customers such as OpenAI, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Toyota.
Reporting to the Director of Product, as a Staff Technical Writer you will join the Docs Team to write documentation for W&B’s machine learning developer tools.
You will partner closely with Product and Engineering to document product updates and try new functionality to build subject-matter expertise. Collaborate with Growth and Sales to drive updates on what features are most in demand for additional context and documentation.
What you’ll achieve (Responsibilities)
- Prioritize and execute on docs projects. Roll out new product docs, tutorials and guides, example scripts, generated reference docs, and rework existing content to keep it fresh, relevant, and engaging.
- Use the product. Test the user workflows you are documenting, and build a deeper understanding of how our tools fit into the machine learning lifecycle. Run example scripts, and collaborate on new scripts to be included in guides.
- Regularly aggregate feedback. Capture perspectives from external users and internal team members. Collaborate with Support, Customer Success, Growth, and internal ML Practitioners.
- Advocate for clarity and concision. Define and maintain a style guide to make the docs consistent, direct, and simple.
What we’re looking for (Requirements)
- 10+ years writing technical docs. You’ve written API and product documentation for software developers, data scientists, or machine learning practitioners as your primary job for at least a decade.
- Scripting expertise. You’ll spend a lot of time in the code our repo libraries (examples: the wandb library and weave library), using our Python SDK functionality to understand how products work for different use cases. You’ll use your automation skills to generate documentation solutions, including API use to call LLMs or download data for transformation into docs.
- Scrappy mindset. You’ll be moving quickly to get updates into the docs, ship small incremental improvements continuously, and quickly measure the results of changes.
- Leadership capability. Ability to own large-scoped projects that sit astride multiple organizations and involve multiple stakeholders. Experience mentoring or managing more junior writers at previous jobs.
