Maintain and improve the documentation site's technical infrastructure, including build tooling, deployment pipelines, and Docusaurus platform configuration, to keep publishing fast, reliable, and scalable
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 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 insights
Collaborate with other writers and the broader Documentation team to share best practices, contribute to team goals, and evolve documentation tooling and standards
Troubleshoot and fix failing GitHub Actions workflows, including reading CI logs, isolating the breaking change, and getting the build green again
Review and merge contributions from engineers and the wider community, and keep branches and versioned docs releases in good shape
Diagnose broken links, redirects, MDX and rendering errors, and search indexing issues across current and versioned content
Handle Docusaurus, Node, and dependency upgrades, and resolve the breakages that come with them
Improve the tooling, automation, and linting that writers and contributors rely on, so the publishing process stays fast and predictable
Requirements
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
