About Us
Parity is one of the world’s most experienced companies building the core infrastructure behind blockchain - the system that allows information and value to be shared securely without needing an intermediary. We’re laying the foundation for a better web which respects the freedom and data of individuals, and empowers developers to build better, more trustworthy online services.
Our remote-first, global team develop open-source software that anyone can use or improve. This includes Polkadot, Polkadot SDK, and Kusama - key parts of the Web3 tech stack, the next generation of the internet. Our mission is to make Polkadot the most active and innovative community in blockchain, powering a new era of connected and decentralised applications.
About the Team
This role sits in our Acceleration department, home to the people who drive ecosystem growth by building tools, integrations, and partnerships across the Polkadot network.
Reporting into our Engineering Lead, you’ll be joining our Builder Experiences team. This team is responsible for accelerating both internal and external developers that build on Polkadot. It’s a large canvas offering lots of opportunities, from reasoning through how we can bring AI assistants to help to building better CI/CD tools, more expressive documentation or just creating tutorials that delight people on their first hands-on experience.
About the Role
As a Documentation Engineer, you'll own Polkadot's developer-facing documentation — the primary resource thousands of developers rely on to build smart contracts, launch parachains, and interact with the network. You'll engineer the docs: building automation, designing user journeys, and maintaining a docs-as-code system with CI/CD pipelines and quality checks. AI is a first-class tool here — you'll be expected to use it to improve workflows and keep docs in sync with a fast-moving codebase.
What You'll Do
Own the full documentation portfolio — reference docs, tutorials, guides, and code snippets
Build automated pipelines to validate examples, detect broken links, and enforce consistency
Design and optimise developer user journeys based on real usage data
Collaborate with protocol and SDK engineers to document features as they ship
Leverage AI to scale documentation quality and reduce lag between code and docs
Your Skills
Engineer first - you have code fluency and can build prototypes and products. You understand what our developers do and need
Docs-as-code experience — static site generators, CI/CD pipelines, and documentation automation
Practical AI integration — not just prompting, but embedding AI into documentation workflows
Developer empathy backed by evidence — you've tested docs with real users and improved them based on what you found
