Description
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. You can find most of our components in the Mendix marketplace, they are showcased in this app (https://marketplace.mendix.com/link/component/220475) and can be used through Mendix Cloud GenAI Resource Packs (https://docs.mendix.com/appstore/modules/genai/mx-cloud-genai/resource-packs/) . 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

+ 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)

+ 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
