About the Role

As a Technical Writer at Camunda, you'll be embedded within product teams, taking full ownership of documentation for key areas of our platform. You'll work side-by-side with engineers, product managers, and designers to ensure our documentation is clear, accurate, and closely aligned with the product experience.

This is a hands-on role where you'll become a subject matter expert, directly shaping the developer journey through high-impact content across the Camunda platform. Beyond content, you'll help maintain and configure the infrastructure that keeps our documentation running smoothly. You'll join a collaborative, mission-driven team focused on helping developers become productive with Camunda technologies quickly and joyfully. Developers with technical writing experience are encouraged to apply.

What You’ll Be Doing

Own and drive the documentation for one or more product areas, acting as the embedded technical writer within the corresponding product teams.
Work closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to stay deeply informed about the product roadmap and ensure documentation is accurate, timely, and aligned with feature development.
Become a subject matter expert in your assigned product areas, developing hands-on experience with Camunda products to create documentation that reflects real-world usage and developer needs.
Lead documentation efforts from concept through to release, including planning, writing, reviewing, and maintaining content that empowers developers to succeed with Camunda technologies.
Advocate for documentation as a critical part of the user experience, bringing the user’s perspective into product discussions and influencing design and implementation where appropriate.
Continuously improve the structure, clarity, and completeness of the documentation based on analytics, user feedback, and your own insights.
Collaborate with other writers and the broader Documentation team to share best practices, contribute to team goals, and evolve our documentation tooling and standards.
Help maintain and improve our documentation site's technical infrastructure, including build tooling, deployment pipelines, and Docusaurus platform configuration, to keep publishing fast, reliable, and scalable.

What You Bring

3+ years of technical writing experience and a strong portfolio of developer-focused content such as user guides, installation guides, API references, tutorials, and technical blog posts.
Hands-on experience with Java, Kubernetes, Helm, Docker, and related technologies, and a proven ability to deeply understand, use, and test complex technical products (ideally with Camunda 8 or similar products).
Experience with writing about on-premise software installation or other technical environments, as well as SaaS and software documentation.
Proven ability to tailor content for diverse audiences and technical backgrounds, including software engineers, application developers, business analysts, and process owners.
Experience with docs-as-code workflows and documentation frameworks such as Docusaurus, and using AI, Git, and Markdown in a developer-centric environment.
Ability and/or willingness to use our product.

Nice-to-Haves

Experience maintaining, configuring, and extending documentation site infrastructure and deployment pipelines, preferably using Docusaurus.
Software engineering experience, or proficiency with one or more programming languages.
Comfortable iterating on an existing technical writing style guide and advocating for its cross-functional use.
