We’ve been named in GP Bullhound’s 2024 Top 100 Next Unicorn list, we’ve earned Flexa’s stamp as a truly flexible workplace, and we proudly hold Great Place to Work certification in both the USA and UK. As a fully remote, global company, we’re rewriting the rules of how modern businesses operate.

And we’re just getting started! We are growing fast and on a mission to find the very best talent in the world. If you’re ready to bring your bold ideas to a fast-paced, dynamic team, keep reading – this role could be the one you’ve been waiting for.

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 deeply 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. You’ll be part of a collaborative, mission-driven team focused on helping developers quickly and joyfully become productive with Camunda technologies.

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 the products to create documentation that reflects real-world usage and developer needs.
• Lead documentation efforts from concept through release—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 Developer Experience team to share best practices, contribute to team goals, and evolve our documentation tooling and standards.

What you bring:

• 5+ years of technical writing experience, with a strong portfolio of developer-focused content such as user guides, API references, tutorials, and technical blog posts.
• Demonstrated ability to deeply understand and use complex technical products, ideally with hands-on experience in Camunda 8 or similar products.
• Proven success writing for diverse audiences, including software engineers, application developers, business analysts, and process owners—tailoring content to meet a range of technical backgrounds.
• Experience with Docs-as-Code workflows and documentation frameworks such as Docusaurus, with comfort using Git and Markdown in a developer-centric environment.
• Strong self-management and collaboration skills, with the ability to work autonomously and asynchronously across time zones, partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality documentation aligned with product goals.

Nice-to-haves:

• Comfortable iterating on an existing technical writing style guide, advocating for its use cross-functionally
• Experience transitioning from engineers as primary documentation authors to technical writers as primary documentation authors
