Senior Technical Writer (Data Documentation)

About the Role

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.

Requirements

• 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 audiences
