About the Role

We are looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to join our Developer Center team. This role owns the documentation developers rely on and helps build the console they use alongside it. You'll write integration guides and API reference, own that site's frontend and publishing pipeline, and contribute features and code to the Developer Center. You'll collaborate across product and engineering teams to deliver a seamless, high-quality developer experience for the global SmartThings platform.

Responsibilities

  • Own the docs site on the SmartThings Developer Center end to end: Docusaurus theme customization, MDX components, versioning, search configuration, CI/CD, and analytics.
  • Write and maintain technical documentation (API docs, SDK guides, and integration tutorials) for external developers integrating with the SmartThings platform.
  • Establish documentation standards, and maintain quality through linters, AI-powered authoring tools, and participation in code and documentation reviews.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with platform engineers, product managers, and designers to build new features and enhance existing ones for the Developer Center.
  • Use AI tooling to accelerate drafting, research, and content audits, with technical verification before anything ships.
  • Proactively communicate progress and challenges to stakeholders and team.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related field
  • 2+ years combined across software engineering and technical writing.
  • Demonstrated strong technical writing for a developer audience.
  • Experience with Docusaurus or comparable documentation frameworks.
  • Strong proficiency with HTML, CSS/SCSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, and React.
  • Experience with Node.js and frameworks such as Express or Next.js
  • Comfortable owning a build and deploy pipeline: CI/CD, previews, static site builds.
  • Strong information architecture instincts: can take a sprawling topic and give it a structure a stranger can navigate.
  • Familiarity with Java or Kotlin.
  • Self-motivated with a strong intellectual curiosity.
  • Demonstrated commitment to continuous learning, with the ability to quickly acquire and apply new skills in a fast-evolving environment.
  • The ability to clearly articulate and constructively discuss both technical and non-technical decisions to advance team standards and best practices.
  • A collaborative mindset, actively sharing knowledge to elevate the skills and performance of the broader team.
  • Experience building with AI and authoring content consumed by AI agents.
  • Experience with SEO, generative engine optimization (GEO), web accessibility (WCAG), and Google Analytics.
