Your Impact

Redwood is rebuilding how documentation gets made. Content lives in Git as Markdown, ships through CI/CD, is reviewed by pull request next to product code, and is increasingly drafted by AI agents working from the product requirements, the code, and a structured content model. We are retiring our legacy authoring tool and moving every writer to this way of working.

You will be a senior writer who builds and runs that pipeline. You decide what an agent drafts and what a human must validate, you build the checks that catch failures, and you set the quality bar for AI-generated documentation. You also become a deep subject matter expert on Redwood's products and on the service orchestration and automation platform (SOAP) market they compete in, and you put what you learn back into the content model so every agent and writer inherits it.

This is a senior individual contributor role. You own a program, not a document set: the documentation pipeline and the content for a product area. You choose the approach on new work, guide more junior writers day to day, and have a significant say in documentation decisions for the business area. Not a people manager role.

Build and Run the Agentic Documentation Pipeline

• Design, build, and operate AI-assisted and agentic workflows that draft new content and update existing pages from product requirements, merged code, API specifications, Jira tickets, and release information.

• Define the handoffs: what the agent drafts, what the writer validates, how failures are detected, and how provenance is recorded. Publish the accuracy and review standards the team follows.

• Own the content model and context layer that agents read: structure, terminology, glossary, style rules, reusable components, and product knowledge, so output is consistent and machine-readable for customers, partners, and AI assistants.

• Build automated quality gates in CI: style and terminology linting, link checks, code sample and API reference validation, and an evaluation set that measures draft quality as models and prompts change.

• Detect drift: flag documentation that no longer matches the product after a code or API change.

• Measure the pipeline and report results: cycle time from release to published content, coverage, accuracy defects, reviewer edit effort, and cost per page.

• Keep an honest model of where agents fail on Redwood content, and move the human-AI boundary as models improve.

Docs as Code

• Own the Git workflow, Markdown/MDX authoring, build, and CI/CD publishing for your product area, with pull-request review alongside engineering.

• Lead migration of legacy content into structured, versioned Markdown, including information architecture, redirects, search, and versioning.

• Embed documentation in the delivery lifecycle: docs as a release gate, updates triggered by code and API changes, and documentation work that starts when the product definition is approved, in parallel with engineering rather than after it.

• Produce OpenAPI-driven API reference and developer guides to the standard expected of a platform product.

Become the Subject Matter Expert on the Product and SOAP

• Install, configure, and use the product yourself, and test new features before you document them.

• Build working knowledge of how customers use orchestration across ERP, cloud, data, and IT operations, and how competing platforms position and document themselves. Use it to write content that explains how to apply the product to a business need, not only how to click through it.

• Partner with product, engineering, support, and customer success to understand complex systems. Raise it early when a feature is hard to document, because that usually means it is hard to use.

• Capture what you learn in the content model, so product knowledge compounds in the system and not only in your head.

Lead Through Craft

• Teach other writers docs-as-code and agentic drafting through pairing, templates, review checklists, and onboarding material.

• Review AI-generated and human-written content to one consistent bar.

• Work with a distributed team across time zones, with clear written handoffs.

YOUR EXPERIENCE

• 8+ years of professional experience (6+ with a master's degree) in technical writing, documentation engineering, developer experience, or technical content for software. Open item: see the open items at the end of this document.

• Docs as code in production, which you can show: a documentation repository or platform you built, migrated to, or ran, using Git, Markdown/MDX (or AsciiDoc or reStructuredText), a static site generator or docs platform (for example Mintlify, Docusaurus, MkDocs, Hugo), CI/CD publishing, and pull-request review. You can state the size of the content estate and who contributed.

• An AI-assisted documentation pipeline in production. You can describe a specific workflow where AI drafts or updates content from a source such as a code diff, ticket, or API spec; what you validate before…
