How does it matter that the role for which they are hiring a developer to write docs is labelled "developer marketing" instead of "documentation engineer"?

The focus and priorities assigned to whoever does the work will be set by their manager.

It's fairly easy to see that a Marketing manager will view the desired end result quite differently than an Engineering manager would.

With a corresponding difference in the focus and priorities then set accordingly.

The whole company is nine people. I don't think managerial siloing is likely to have kicked in yet.

Not sure. Placing the role under marketing from the outset doesn't seem (to me) like setting things up for success though.
