Overview

Join to apply for the Senior Technical Writer role at n8n.

n8n is a workflow automation platform that uniquely combines AI capabilities with business process automation. We give technical teams the flexibility of code with the speed of no-code, backed by a passionate community of builders. With 500+ integrations and fair-code principles, we're revolutionizing how businesses connect their systems and processes.

As a Senior Technical Writer, you’ll be a key voice of clarity in a complex, highly technical product space. You’ll craft and maintain high-quality documentation and learning resources — from technical deep dives to onboarding flows and integration how-tos — making n8n approachable and empowering for developers and technical users.

Responsibilities

• Write and ship high-quality, user-centered documentation — from quickstart guides to advanced API walkthroughs and real-world use cases.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Product, DevRel, and Support to ensure docs answer the right questions at the right time.
• Bring clarity and accessibility to complex technical concepts, empowering developers to self-serve.
• Continuously improve the docs experience, identifying gaps, proposing enhancements, and iterating based on feedback.
• Elevate the voice and tone of n8n docs: clear, helpful, and friendly — no jargon, no fluff.
• Support our community of contributors by reviewing submissions and making it easy to collaborate on high-quality content.

Must-have

• 5+ years creating technical documentation for developer-facing products.
• Experience with Docs-as-Code workflows, using tools like Git, Markdown, and static site generators.
• Comfort diving into technical concepts — APIs, JavaScript, JSON — and exploring tools like n8n hands-on.
• Proven ability to write with structure and clarity while keeping tone warm and accessible.
• Strong understanding of how documentation impacts adoption, engagement, and developer experience.

Nice-to-have

• Background in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field.
