Developer Advocate in London

Paddle offers digital product companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments‑related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payment fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better. We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 5000 software sellers in 245 territories globally.

The Role: We’re hiring a Developer Advocate with a focus on content. This role is an exciting opportunity to be at the heart of our developer-focused content and tooling at Paddle. The Developer Experience team ensures implementing Paddle is a delight. We shape the Paddle API to be simple and intuitive, but powerful and flexible. We also build product features that make getting started with Paddle as simple as possible. All of this needs to be supported by world‑class documentation, examples and tooling – and that’s where you come in. We are looking for a content‑focused developer advocate to work collaboratively with the rest of the Developer Experience team as well as a global team of product managers, designers, and developers. You’ll produce clear documentation and other supporting content, from video scripts to integration how‑tos, which will delight our customers and be critical to the growth of our platform.

What you'll do:

• Produce content that reaches potential and existing customers directly, from changelog entries to long‑form guides, tutorials and articles.
• Work internal and externally to understand opportunities that DX has and how to make the most impact.
• Create compelling copy in collaboration with product owners, product marketing and design.
• Document features, enhancements and bug fixes by gathering and organising technical information from engineers, the product team, and other stakeholders.
• Guide the presenting and writing of API documentation.
• Implement technical documentation standards.
• Proactively gather feedback from colleagues and customers to keep all documentation and content relevant and up‑to‑date.

We'd love to hear from you if you:

• Want a hands‑on content role with input into process and product direction.
• Have excellent written and oral skills in English, with great attention to detail, balanced with the need to be direct.
• Can demonstrate experience delivering API or developer‑focused digital content such as product documentation, knowledge bases or similar.

We’d be especially excited to hear from you if you:

• Have the ability to quickly grasp complex technical concepts and make them easily understandable to software end‑users.
• Have experience working both in early‑stage technology companies and larger organisations.
• Have experience taking docs from good to great.
