🚀 About the Job
We believe docs are part of the product. You'll own the docs experience — from onboarding guides and usage tutorials to contribution guides and API references. This is currently an unpaid, open-source contributor role.
Key Responsibilities:
- Work closely with engineering to document new features.
- Craft engaging tutorials and write for real-world use cases.
- Improve our docs site experience, structure, and accessibility.
🌱 About the Team
We're a small and fast-moving group of developers and builders with deep roots in open source, DX, and developer communities. PackShip began as a weekend project and has evolved into a full-fledged devtool adopted across several ecosystems. Our mission is simple: make package publishing super simple, and empower every developer to ship confidently. We build in public, value async-first workflows, and care deeply about quality, simplicity, and performance.
🧠 About You
We'd love to work with you if you:
- Enjoy building tools for developers and have experience in open-source ecosystems.
- Care about clean, maintainable code (especially in TypeScript/Node).
- Have an eye for developer experience — from docs to error messages to logs.
- Are excited by small teams, fast iteration, and ownership.
- Value clear communication and async workflows.
- Experience with CLIs, telemetry, bundlers, or technical writing is a huge plus — but we value curiosity and initiative even more.
