About the role

We are looking for a Senior Technical Writer to design and automate AI-driven software documentation for end users, developers, and system integrators.

The mandatory requirements are 4+ years of technical writing experience, prompt engineering and AI tools, APIs, systems and data models, Git, YAML, or Markdown, and an upper-intermediate English level.

Must haves

  • 4+ years of technical writing experience, with demonstrated expertise in software documentation (SaaS, cloud platforms, or developer-focused content).
  • Deep familiarity with prompt engineering and ability to design effective prompts, configure AI tools, and iterate based on output quality to achieve consistent documentation.
  • Strong understanding of documentation architecture and information design. Ability to analyze different documentation types and design patterns that scale.
  • Technical comfort with APIs, event streaming, batch processing, system architecture, and data models. Ability to understand complex concepts and write documentation that captures them accurately.
  • Proficiency with Markdown, YAML, Git, and version-controlled workflows. Comfortable in code editors and command-line environments.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with an ability to write clear, user-centered documentation and communicate technical concepts to diverse audiences.
  • Attention to detail and excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and maintain consistency across documentation systems.
  • Problem-solving mindset with ability to think critically about processes and advocate for improvements to documentation systems and workflows.
  • Experience in fast-paced, cross-functional product environments with the ability to adapt to changing priorities.
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, English, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
  • Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to haves

  • Loyalty product, MarTech, or B2B SaaS experience preferred.
  • Redocly documentation framework for API references.

What you will do

  • Partner with product, engineering, and operations teams to understand documentation needs and user workflows, then design documentation architecture and automation patterns that serve multiple audiences - end users, developers, and system integrators.
  • Establish documentation standards and build governance and quality gates directly into the automation system to ensure all generated documentation - user guides, API documentation, integration guides, in-product help, and release notes - maintains consistency and user value.
  • Build and refine prompt templates, style guides, and content models that enable developers and writers to generate consistent, high-quality documentation at scale.
  • Write, edit, and review documentation to model excellence, validate automation output quality, and identify patterns that strengthen prompts and templates.
  • Measure documentation impact using analytics and user feedback to identify gaps and inform improvements to the automation system, content strategy, and documentation approach.
  • Document all systems, configurations, prompts, and decision logic thoroughly so the team can maintain, evolve, and improve the automation system independently.

Perks

  • Growth without limits: build your skills through mentorship, internal TechTalks, challenging projects, and a dedicated annual learning budget
  • Competitive compensation: get recognition that reflects your skills and impact, with regular performance and compensation reviews
  • Flexibility: work 100% remotely with flexible hours that support focus, autonomy, and a healthy work rhythm
  • Meaningful, modern projects: build impactful products using modern technologies alongside global teams and leading brands
  • Collaborative culture: join a supportive environment with zero micromanagement where ideas are welcomed and contributions are recognized
  • Well-being & support: access local well-being programs and people-focused support tailored to your location
