Technical Writer & Content Developer – AI Focus

About the Role

We’re looking for a technically curious, developer-focused writer to help bring Mendix’s latest AI innovations to life through clear, practical, and engaging documentation. In this role, you won’t just document features—you’ll work side-by-side with developers and product teams to deeply understand how new capabilities work and help translate them into real-world success for our users. You’ll focus on AI-related modules, components, and services within Mendix. But your impact will go beyond traditional documentation—you’ll help shape how developers discover, understand, and apply new technologies across our platform.

You’ll join a documentation team that’s part of Mendix R&D, reflecting our belief that great docs are critical to great product experiences. We treat documentation as a core part of the development process—not an afterthought.

Key Responsibilities

• Make Innovation Usable

  Create clear, actionable documentation for new and evolving AI features in Mendix

• Think Like a Developer

  Write with the end user in mind, focusing on practical use cases, project relevance, and real-world application—not just feature descriptions.

• Own What You Write

  Take ownership of documentation for specific AI-driven features, working toward subject matter expertise as you collaborate with product and engineering teams.

• Collaborate Deeply

  Work closely with product managers, engineers, and learning specialists to understand new features at a technical level and communicate them effectively.

• Connect the Dots

  Align documentation with broader developer learning content, helping users move smoothly between tutorials, guides, and self-directed exploration.

• Shape the Experience

  Contribute to the voice, structure, and tooling of our documentation—especially where new AI capabilities demand new approaches.

• Advocate for Developers

  Champion the needs of the developer community by proactively identifying gaps, responding to feedback, and continuously improving the docs experience.

What You Bring

• 3+ years of experience in technical writing or product documentation
• Familiarity with Mendix or other low-code platforms (Mendix certification is a plus)
• A solid grasp of AI concepts—especially how developers interact with AI-powered components
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with the ability to translate complex ideas into practical guidance
• Clear, friendly, and user-focused writing that empowers developers to move fast and build smart
• Comfort working with code, developer tooling (Git, Markdown), and agile product teams
• Self-motivation and independence, paired with a collaborative mindset
• A passion for learning and staying curious—especially about how developers build with emerging technologies

Nice to Have

• Experience working with documentation in an open-source or community-driven context
• Familiarity with tools like Jira, CMS workflows, or version control systems
