Senior Technical Writer (Data Documentation) (m/f/d)

At JetBrains, many teams rely on data and shared tools in their daily work – whether they are building products, improving AI solutions, running marketing campaigns, managing finances, or tracking sales. Our goal is to make these resources easy to find, understand, and use. We’re looking for a Senior Technical Writer to join our Data Office department and help us create clear, structured documentation for data, metrics, tools, and services. You’ll work on content such as data catalogs, metrics documentation, user guides, SDK documentation, and UI text – helping colleagues understand and take advantage of our data ecosystem. This role goes beyond writing. You’ll take ownership of a specific area, improve processes, lead documentation projects, support contributors, mentor junior writers, and help raise the overall quality of documentation throughout the department. ## We’d love for you to join our team if you have - Extensive writing experience within software, IT, or data-related domains. - Strong technical foundation and an understanding of software development concepts and workflows. - Experience documenting APIs, SDKs, developer tools, data tools, datasets, metrics, data catalogs, or other complex systems. - Experience with docs-as-code, Markdown or XML, and version control (specifically Git). - Excellent English and writing skills, with the ability to explain complex topics clearly and empathize with different highly technical audiences. - A proactive mindset and the ability to work independently, take initiative, prioritize tasks, and move work forward. - Strong communication and collaboration skills, including an inclination toward mentoring, knowledge sharing, and improving how the team works. ## We’d be particularly thrilled if you have - Strong understanding of data analysis concepts and terminology. - Experience leading or independently completing technical documentation projects. - Experience improving documentation processes with templates, automation, scripts, or AI tools. - Experience optimizing content for both human readers and AI-based discovery and reuse.
