Experience with any of the following would make candidates more appealing.

- Agile methodologies
- Documenting SaaS software
- Documenting application security software
- Demonstrated ability to think about and improve the user experience, whether advocating for the user in the Agile process or writing documentation that is easy for customers to us

- Testing API examples with tools like Postman and cURL
- Docs-as-code workflows and tools (Git, pull requests)
