As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money. For everyone, everywhere.

More about our mission and what we offer.

Role: API Technical Writer

We are seeking an API Technical Writer who is passionate about making complex financial APIs accessible to developers and enterprise partners. As the API Technical Writer for Wise Platform, you will be responsible for our public developer documentation at https://docs.wise.com/, working closely with engineering and partnerships teams to enable seamless integrations.

Your mission is to translate complex API functionality into clear, actionable documentation that empowers developers to integrate successfully with our financial infrastructure. You will create step-by-step guides, code examples, and comprehensive references that serve everyone from individual developers to enterprise integration teams.

We are looking for someone with hands-on experience working with APIs—whether as a technical writer specialising in developer documentation or as an engineer transitioning into technical communication. You should understand the developer experience and be able to anticipate the questions and challenges that arise during API integration.

What you will do
  • Interview subject matter experts across engineering, product, sales and delivery teams to learn about our customer types and how they integrate

  • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for our different API products

  • Develop guides that enable successful integrations from initial setup through production deployment

  • Support product launches with technical content including troubleshooting resources, and release notes

  • Establish and maintain documentation standards, style guides, and best practices and advocate for contributions to the API documentation across the business

Qualifications

Essential Experience

  • Experience writing technical documentation for APIs or developer tools

  • Hands-on background working with APIs (as technical writer, engineer, or developer)

  • Strong understanding of software integration processes and common developer pain points

  • Experience creating step-by-step tutorial-style learning materials for technical audiences

Technical Skills

  • Experience with Markdown and docs-as-code approaches

  • Familiarity with API documentation tooling

  • Strong knowledge of OpenAPI Specification (OAS) and authoring YAML

  • Understanding of standard software and integration terminology

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with enterprise software or B2B partnerships

  • Background in SaaS or fintech environments

  • Ability to create multimedia content (text, images, video) for complex technical concepts

Personal Attributes

  • Collaborative mindset with ability to work independently

  • Strong attention to detail and empathy for target audiences

  • Ability to quickly grasp complex technical concepts and translate them into clear, actionable content

If you're passionate about making APIs approachable through exceptional documentation and want to help shape how thousands of developers integrate with Wise's financial infrastructure, we'd love to hear from you.
