Lead Developer Documentation (Remote) - $169,000 A Year - Remote

Remote Friendly Full-time Launches Loops Advocacy SIT C
RevenueCat removes the headaches of building and scaling in‑app subscriptions. Since graduating from YC’s S18 batch we’ve grown into the default monetization platform for mobile: we’re in >
40% of newly shipped subscription apps, we process $10B+ in annual purchase volume, and we help everyone from a solo dev in Brazil to the OpenAI mobile team understand and grow their revenue.
We’re a remote‑first crew of 120+, spread across 25 countries, and guided by values we actually practice: Customer Obsession, Always Be Shipping, Own It, and Balance. If you want your work to touch hundreds of millions of end‑users (and help the developers behind them get paid), you’ll fit right in.
About The Team
Documentation at RevenueCat sits at the intersection of Product, Engineering, Support, and Marketing. Our docs are often the first - and sometimes only - way developers experience RevenueCat.
This role will be
the first hire to own the end-to-end documentation experience : how it’s structured, how it stays accurate, how it scales with the product, and how it serves both humans and machines. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Product, Design, Support, Advocacy, and Content to ensure our documentation tells a clear, consistent story as RevenueCat continues to grow in scope and complexity.
The Role
As
Senior Documentation Manager, you’ll be responsible for making RevenueCat’s documentation a durable competitive advantage.
Today, we have strong individual documentation pages, but they don’t always form a cohesive system. Documentation can lag behind shipped features, vary in tone and structure depending on who wrote it, and mix conceptual docs, troubleshooting, and help content in ways that create friction for customers.
Your job is to fix that - and design a documentation system that scales.
You will:
Own documentation strategy and information architecture
Define a clear, opinionated structure for RevenueCat’s documentation that supports:New apps getting started quicklyExisting apps migrating or expanding usageCustomers using only a subset of RevenueCat’s featuresEnsure documentation tells a coherent story across features, platforms, and use casesDecide what belongs in product docs vs help center vs troubleshooting guides, and enforce those boundaries
Establish consistency in voice, style, and quality
Develop and maintain documentation brand and style guidelinesEnsure docs written by engineers, PMs, and others meet a consistent bar for clarity, tone, and usabilityActively manage and prune legacy documentation, especially in high-visibility areas
Partner deeply with Engineering and Product
Work with Engineering to ensure new features ship with accurate, high-quality documentationBuild processes that prevent docs from falling out of date as the product evolvesReview and improve technical accuracy without becoming a bottleneck to shipping
Make documentation useful for both humans and AI
Treat AI readability and machine consumption as first-class concerns alongside human readersStructure content so it works well for LLMs, search, and future AI-driven toolingAnticipate where the documentation system will break as scale increases, and proactively design solutions
Expand documentation into a broader learning ecosystem
Collaborate with Content Marketing, Advocacy, and Design to extend docs with:VideosBlog postsTutorials and guidesEnsure these assets reinforce (not fragment) the core documentation experience
About you:
You’re a documentation leader who thinks in systems, not pages. You care deeply about clarity, accuracy, and structure, and you’re opinionated about what good documentation looks like at scale.
You have:
5-8+ years experience in technical documentation, developer education, or technical content leadershipExperience owning documentation for a complex, evolving developer platform or API-driven product, with hands-on ownership of a git-based, markdown-driven documentation system (Docusaurus is a plus)A strong editorial mindset paired with enough technical depth to work effectively with engineersA track record of designing processes that keep documentation accurate over time, not just launching one-off rewrites
You bring:
Excellent written communication and editorial judgmentStrong information architecture instinctsComfort pushing back when documentation quality or placement undermines the user experienceExperience collaborating cross-functionally in a remote, async-first environment
Values & ways of working:
You’re energized by helping developers succeed with less frictionYou default to ownership and long-term thinkingYou’re pragmatic - you ship improvements iteratively rather than waiting for a perfect overhaulYou’re comfortable operating without a pre-existing playbook and building one as you go

Within the first 3 months, you'll:
Lead a documentation overhaul that tells a cohesive, end-to-end storyEnsure customers feel oriented and confident whether they’re using the full platform or a single featureEstablish tight collaboration loops with Engineering, Product, Design, and Marketing around new feature launches
Within the first 6 months, you'll:
Design and implement systems and processes to keep documentation up to date over timePartner with Developer Advocacy to create complementary videos, blogs, and educational assetsMake AI readability as important as human readability across our documentation
