Position Overview

Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is transforming how things get built. We believe (deeply!) that our customers and the construction industry deserve a truly great platform to manage the full lifecycle of their projects — and achieve greater success than they thought possible.
A key part of our mission is delivering a world-class developer experience, since many of our customers and partners integrate with our APIs. Our DevX team is focused on making this process incredibly intuitive and seamless. We’re building a developer portal that even your mom can use — one that’s best-in-class, award-winning, and supports extremely low time-to-hello-world (TTHW) and submit-to-publish (STP) rates.

Responsibilities
 

  • Write and maintain clear, structured API documentation, tutorials, and integration guides that help developers rapidly understand and use our APIs

  • Collaborate with product managers and engineers to understand features, use cases, and workflows — and translate them into effective documentation

  • Review API request/response payloads, test endpoints in Postman or Swagger, and ensure examples and workflows are accurate and complete

  • Participate in team documentation reviews, ensuring consistency, tone, and structural cohesion across the documentation ecosystem

  • Track and document API changes across versions and highlight breaking changes or key differences to minimize developer confusion

Minimum Qualifications
 

  • 5–7+ years of experience in technical writing for SaaS products, including at least 2 years of direct API documentation experience

  • Strong writing and editing skills with the ability to explain complex systems in simple, accurate, developer-friendly language

  • Hands-on experience using tools like Postman, Swagger/OpenAPI, or equivalent API clients

  • Ability to read and understand JSON, REST APIs, and basic code samples (e.g., JavaScript, Python)

  • Self-driven and detail-oriented, with the confidence to test and explore APIs independently

  • Open to receiving and giving feedback and committed to continuous improvement

Preferred Qualifications
 

  • Experience working on a globally distributed team across multiple time zones

  • Familiarity with GitHub, static site generators (e.g., Docusaurus), and Markdown

  • Exposure to enterprise developer documentation strategies and internal knowledge base tools

  • A strong writing portfolio with at least one sample of API or developer documentation (public links or anonymized PDFs are fine)
