Summary / Objective
IDIL is building DNS-native identity infrastructure for AI agents and other non-human identities: a durable governance-backed domain name that serves as an agent's foundational identity. This role owns the developer-facing documentation for DNSid top to bottom: the API reference conceptual guides integration tutorials the developer portal and the written specifications behind the standard.
The Sr. Technical Writer translates a sophisticated protocol into documentation an engineer can act on immediately and works closely enough with the engineering team to document features before they ship. This role also ensures that documentation is structured and published to be as useful to an AI tool retrieving context as it is to a person reading it. The Sr. Technical Writer will partner closely with the SDK and Integrations Engineers and the Developer Advocate on the DNSid rollout.
This role reports to the Director Software Engineering.

What You'll Do
- Write and maintain the complete API reference for the TypeScript Python and Go SDKs: method signatures parameters error codes and annotated code examples
- Author conceptual guides that explain the DNSid trust model the agent lifecycle the DNS record schema and the verification flow for developers from AI platform-engineering and identity backgrounds
- Produce integration tutorials for each major framework such as LangChain CrewAI the Microsoft Agent Framework LlamaIndex and the OpenAI Agents SDK plus MCP servers A2A and edge runtimes with working code samples validated against the current SDK
- Own the DNSid developer portal end to end: information architecture navigation search and the new-developer journey from first landing to a first successful agent registration
- Structure and publish documentation to be AI-consumable: well-formed llms.txt machine-readable API references and content that surfaces accurately through AI coding assistants like Codex Claude and Cursor since many developers meet DNSid through these tools before they ever open the portal
- Help write the technical standards behind DNSid working from the IETF draft and engineering notes
- Maintain the changelog and release notes for each SDK release turning engineering diffs into clear developer-facing impact statements
- Document features before they ship by joining design reviews reading PRs and asking the questions that surface gaps early
- Work with Developer Advocates so tutorials and guides reflect what developers actually find confusing based on community feedback and support volume
- Set the documentation style guidelines templates and review process and keep them working as the integration surface grows
- Keep every documentation code example validated in CI against the current TypeScript Python and Go SDKs partnering with engineering on the setup so examples never silently go stale as the APIs change
- Version documentation clearly across spec drafts and SDK releases and audit it on a regular cadence for accuracy against the current standard and SDKs
- Actively models and promotes Identity Digital's core values through day-to-day interactions behaviors and decision-making
- Other duties as assigned
Who You Are / What You Bring
- 5+ years of technical writing at a developer platform API-first company or standards-focused organization
- Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience
- Able to read IETF RFCs and translate the specification into accurate developer-friendly prose without needing an engineer to explain what the spec says
- Experience writing API reference documentation for at least two programming languages; familiarity with TypeScript Python or Go is a strong advantage
- A portfolio with at least one large-scale developer-documentation project: an SDK a platform API a protocol implementation guide or equivalent
- Able to write working executable code samples in at least one of TypeScript Python or Go
- Understanding of DNS fundamentals (TXT records domain names zone files TTLs) and HTTP identity protocols (OAuth 2.0 OIDC) deep enough to write accurately about DNSid's anchoring model without engineering review for every sentence
- Experience owning a developer portal or documentation site including its information-architecture and toolchain choices (Docusaurus Mintlify Read the Docs or comparable)
- Strong instincts for information hierarchy: the writer knows when something belongs in a reference page versus a conceptual guide versus a tutorial and structures content so developers find the right answer at the right moment
- Experience with docs-as-code workflows: Git pull-request review for documentation CI checks on code samples and versioned docs tied to SDK releases
- Familiarity with AI-consumable documentation patterns: llms.txt structured API references and formats that surface accurately through AI coding assistants and retrieval-based tools
- Experience writing changelogs and release notes that communicate developer impact rather than a list of commits
- Ability to travel as needed
- Ability to work across time zones as part of a global organization as needed
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience documenting an IETF draft standard W3C specification or comparable protocol before it became a final standard
- Familiarity with the AI agent framework ecosystem (LangChain CrewAI the Microsoft Agent Framework or comparable) deep enough to judge whether integration tutorials reflect real developer workflows
- Experience with identity and authentication documentation: OAuth 2.0 flows OIDC discovery SPIFFE/SPIRE or verifiable credentials
- A background contributing to formal standards documents or public registries (for example IETF informational documents or IANA registry submissions)
- Experience building or significantly shaping a documentation style guide adopted across a multi-team engineering organization
