Named GP Bullhound’s Top 100 Next Unicorn list, 2025 Great Place to Work certified. Visionary in 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies. ranked 3rd in Flexa's 2026 Most Flexible Companies, We’re growing fast and looking for top talent to join our team. If you want meaningful work, visible impact and put something genuinely rare on your CV, keep reading.

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. We're looking for someone who can unblock themselves and the team when something breaks. Day to day, this can mean:

• Troubleshooting and fixing failing GitHub Actions workflows, including reading CI logs, isolating the breaking change, and getting the build green again.

• Reviewing and merging contributions from engineers and the wider community, and keeping branches and versioned docs releases in good shape.

• Diagnosing broken links, redirects, MDX and rendering errors, and search indexing issues across current and versioned content.

• Handling Docusaurus, Node, and dependency upgrades, and resolving the breakages that come with them.

• Improving the tooling, automation, and linting that writers and contributors rely on, so our publishing process stays fast and predictable

You don't need to be a full-time developer, but you should be confident with Git and GitHub workflows, the command line, YAML and JavaScript-based config, Markdown/MDX, and reading an error trace far enough to know whether you can fix it or need to pull in an engineer.

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.
