This role is an on‑site position in our Toronto office.

Responsibilities

• Own the end‑to‑end creation of high‑quality developer resources: documentation, integration guides, SDKs, sample apps, and interactive tutorials.
• Partner with engineering and product teams to understand BitGo’s API behavior, real integrator use cases, and failure modes; translate these into accurate and ergonomic developer workflows.
• Lead the development of tooling, linting rules, and documentation pipelines that ensure consistent API documentation and reduce manual effort.
• Build a deep understanding of developer user journeys and use those insights to shape content strategy, information architecture, and integration guidance.
• Analyze support tickets, forum posts, and customer feedback to identify friction points and deliver content or tooling that removes them.
• Define and uphold standards for SDK design, documentation structure, changelogs, and code samples across all external‑facing surfaces.
• Champion a developer‑first culture, ensuring API and SDK design reviews consider clarity, stability, and integrator empathy.
• Strengthen operational excellence by improving documentation quality, maintainability, and accessibility, and by investing in automation that keeps docs accurate by default.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with significant exposure to developer‑facing products or APIs.
• Demonstrated success working with product and engineering teams to influence API and SDK design based on external developer needs.
• Experience creating and maintaining internal tools, scripts, or pipelines to automate content generation, testing, or validation of developer artifacts.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building or contributing to SDKs, client libraries, or CLI tools for public APIs.
• Understanding of API versioning, breaking change detection, and changelog automation.
• Exposure to CI/CD workflows for publishing developer assets (e.g., SDKs, docs, examples).
• Passion for developer advocacy, technical education, or open‑source contributions targeting integrator audiences.
• Familiarity with Rust.
