About the role
As Senior Technical Writer, you will own how developers, customers, and partners experience Pliant through our documentation. You will lead a full overhaul of Pliant's developer documentation: rebuilding the information architecture from the ground up, raising consistency and quality across the entire surface, and unifying our Direct and Partner API documentation into a single coherent Pliant API story.
What you'll do
- Own Pliant's developer documentation end-to-end: API reference, guides, recipes, quickstarts, and conceptual content for both direct customers and embedded-finance partners.
- Lead a full rework of our information architecture, designing structures around the jobs developers and integrators are trying to get done.
- Drive the unification of our Direct and Partner API documentation into one coherent surface as the underlying APIs converge.
- Validate documentation hands-on: read code and API specs, call endpoints, run integration flows, and surface gaps before customers or partners do.
- Establish and uphold documentation standards, voice and style guide, contribution model, and review process.
- Partner with Product and Engineering on API governance, pushing for consistent naming, error handling, and behavior across endpoints.
- Shape and improve our developer portal and docs tooling so publishing is fast and the reader experience is best-in-class.
- Use modern AI tooling as a leverage point, while owning quality, accuracy, and editorial judgment yourself.
What you'll need
- 5+ years of technical writing experience, with a strong track record of building or substantially overhauling developer documentation for an API-first product.
- Strong information architecture skills: you have designed documentation structures from scratch around how different audiences actually use them.
- Comfortable in docs-as-code workflows and able to read code and API specs well enough to verify behavior independently.
- Fluent working directly with engineers and product managers as a technical peer: you ask sharp questions and push back on ambiguity.
- Excellent editorial judgment: clarity, consistency, and brevity are reflexes.
- Hands-on with modern AI tooling for writing and editing, with a clear point of view on where it adds leverage.
- Fluent in English; additional European languages are a plus.
Nice to have
- Direct experience in fintech, payments, or another regulated, infrastructure-heavy B2B domain.
What they offer
- A high-impact, highly visible role shaping one of Pliant's most important brand and product assets.
- Close collaboration with product managers, engineers, and solution engineers who treat documentation as a first-class part of the product.
- Flat hierarchies, fast decision-making, and a highly international team.
- Competitive compensation.
- Flexible work setup, remote across Europe or in any of our seven European offices.
