Technical Writer

• Own and build zaimler's documentation from the ground up: define the information architecture, select tooling (docs-as-code, CMS, or otherwise), and establish style and quality standards
• Write and maintain API references, SDK guides, quickstarts, and platform documentation for a technical audience of engineers and data teams
• Create customer-facing content including implementation guides, solution briefs, and onboarding materials that accelerate enterprise deployments
• Develop internal documentation such as architecture decision records, runbooks, and engineering onboarding guides
• Embed with engineering teams to document new features and platform capabilities as they ship, not after
• Establish a feedback loop with customers and internal teams to identify gaps, improve clarity, and prioritize what to document next

• 5+ years of experience in technical writing, with a focus on developer-facing documentation for infrastructure, data, or platform products
• A portfolio that demonstrates clear, precise writing for technical audiences (API docs, architecture guides, developer tutorials)
• Ability to read code and engage directly with engineers about system design, APIs, and data models. You don't need to be a software engineer, but you need to be technically fluent.
• Experience building documentation programs or information architecture from scratch, not just contributing to existing doc sets
• Familiarity with docs-as-code workflows (Markdown, Git, static site generators like Docusaurus, MkDocs, or similar)
• Strong editorial judgment: you know when to write a quickstart vs. a conceptual guide vs. a reference page, and you can make that call without being told

• Experience documenting knowledge graphs, graph databases, semantic layers, or ML/AI systems
• Background writing for enterprise audiences where accuracy and trust are critical (financial services, healthcare, infrastructure)
• Experience with developer relations, content strategy, or technical marketing
• Familiarity with API documentation tools (Swagger/OpenAPI, Redoc, Stoplight)

• You're comfortable being the only writer in the room and owning the full docs lifecycle
• You proactively seek out what needs documenting rather than waiting for a ticket
• You care about the reader's experience as much as technical accuracy
