Founded in 2009, SendGrid is an industry-disrupting, cloud-based customer communication platform that solves the challenges of reliably delivering emails on behalf of our customers.  We deliver over 30 billion emails a month for customers like Airbnb, Spotify, and Uber.

External documentation is a critical component of our service, averaging 10% of our total website traffic. Our docs are a crucial part of aiding our customers to self-serve. According to ProgrammableWeb’s survey, documentation is the most important factor for developers using APIs above libraries, code examples, and uptime.

As a Documentation Developer Intern at SendGrid, you will write high quality customer friendly documentation to help drive self service and add to a positive customer experience. You will learn a lot about our product and you will be aware of all new features before they come out.

This is a paid internship beginning in the summer of 2017.

  • Create scripts, Jekyll plugins, and modify existing code all in Ruby
  • Be willing to learn Git and Jekyll if you don’t know it already
