Developer Educator - API Docs

AssemblyAI is a remote-first AI company building powerful deep learning models for developers, startups, and enterprises to transcribe and understand their audio data.

Our Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) models already outperform companies like Google, AWS, and Microsoft - which is why hundreds of companies and thousands of developers are using our APIs to transcribe and understand millions of videos, podcasts, phone calls, and zoom meetings every day. Our APIs power innovative products like conversational intelligence platforms, zoom meeting summarizers, content moderation, and automatic closed captioning.

AssemblyAI’s Speech-to-Text APIs are already trusted by Fortune 500s, startups, and thousands of developers around the world, with well-known customers including Spotify, Algolia, Dow Jones, Happy Scribe, BBC, The Wall Street Journal, and NBCUniversal. As part of a huge and emerging market, AssemblyAI is well on its way to becoming the leader in speech recognition and NLP.

We're growing at breakneck speed, and recently announced our Series B round. We've raised $63M in total funding, and are backed by leading investors including Insight Partners, Accel, Y Combinator, Patrick and John Collision (Founders of Stripe), Nat Friedman (Former CEO of GitHub), and Daniel Gross (Entrepreneur & Investor in companies including GitHub, Uber & SpaceX)!

Our ambition is to build an iconic AI company, making advanced deep learning technology accessible to everyday developers through a simple API, good docs, and a great developer experience.

Join our world-class, remote team and help us build an iconic deep learning company!

The Role

AssemblyAI is growing quickly, and we’re searching for a Developer Advocate to drive and execute the vision for our next generation of developer API documentation.

In this role you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Build the information architecture for how the documentation should be structured. We aim to minimize the time it takes for technical users, such as developers and data engineers, to get to the “aha!” moment with our API and its features.
  • Work closely with the Product team to ensure we have extensive, detailed documentation as we launch new features.
  • Create projects & tutorials with our API and interact with developers in our community. You will both create tutorials yourself and work with the Developer Educators to expand the high quality tutorials on the docs.
  • Determine the current and future direction of our docs as a growth driver for the company. We aim to drive the business by doing right by our technical audience and serving those that need to build our API into their applications. Figuring out how to constantly improve how we serve these users is critical to success in this role and to the company’s trajectory.

Requirements

  • A proven interest in creating educational or interesting technical content (documentation, blogs, open source projects, etc.)
  • Enough programming experience across multiple programming languages and the command line to create code examples across Python, Ruby, PHP, and JavaScript, as well as know when you need to pull in others from across the Engineering organization to create code and documentation that meets our high quality bar
  • Prior experience working with APIs
  • Experience with documentation information architectures
  • Knowledge of tools that can measure results, such as Google Analytics or PostHog. The specific tools you’ve previously used are less important than knowing what to measure and why.
  • A plus would be some experience with SEO and/or in a marketing department

Skills

  • Ability to effectively communicate complex technical topics in a simple way
  • You are a self-starter, well organized, creative, results-oriented, quality minded and a team-first player
  • Great relationship builder
  • Strong written & verbal communication, research, and presentation skills

Our Team

Our team is made up of problem solvers, innovators and top AI researchers with over 20+ years of experience in Machine Learning, NLP, and Speech Recognition from companies like DeepMind, Google Brain, Meta, Apple and Amazon. They conduct cutting edge deep learning research and develop novel algorithms & techniques to continually push the state of the art in speech recognition & NLP!

Our team is fully remote, and our culture is super collaborative, low-ego, transparent, and fast-paced. We want to win - and have a flat organization where everyone can openly share ideas (regardless of their title or position) in order to get the best idea.

As a remote company, our team members are given a lot of trust and autonomy to work where and how they want. We look for people to join our team who are ambitious, curious, and self-motivated, and we put a lot of trust and autonomy into everyone on our team. We want to empower everyone to do their best work with whatever tools, structures, or resources they need to perform at their highest potential.
