Core Responsibilities
- Content Experience Strategy: Partner with Engineering and Product leadership to define the roadmap for how developers consume, navigate, and interact with technical documentation. You will set the design standards for the information architecture and UX patterns that make complex content accessible.
- Auth0 Content Integration UX: Design the structural framework and interaction models for how authentication documentation is discovered, filtered, and consumed across our platform—from in-app contextual help to comprehensive guides.
- API Explorer & Library Interfaces: Create intuitive navigation systems, search paradigms, and interactive UI patterns that help developers quickly find, test, and understand API endpoints and code samples.
- Onboarding Content Architecture:Map content delivery systems and progressive disclosure patterns that surface the right information at the right time throughout the developer journey.
- Cross-Functional Bridge: Act as the connector between content teams, support engineering, and product, ensuring that our documentation UX serves discoverability, comprehension, and self-service success.
Requirements
- 6-8 years of experience in Product Design, with a significant portion dedicated to B2B Enterprise, SaaS, or Complex Tools.
- Technical Fluency: You don't need to code, but you must understand REST/GraphQL concepts, JSON structures, and the developer's mental model.
- Systemic Thinking: Proven ability to simplify complex, high-data environments. You should be as comfortable in a flowchart as you are in Figma.
- Leadership and alignment: Experience mentoring senior designers and influencing product strategy at the executive level.
- WCAG Compliance: Advanced knowledge of accessibility standards for high-density data and complex UI.
- AI Literacy: Practical experience or experimentation done designing for AI/ML features, including prompt patterns and ethical UI considerations.
- Strategic Influence: Strong ability to advocate for user needs and navigate organizational friction to improve product quality.
- Portfolio: Must showcase examples of "heavy lifting"—projects involving complex workflows, data density, or technical platforms (e.g., AWS/GCP consoles, Fintech APIs, CRM, Insurance or DevOps tools).
