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.
