Job description

Your team

As a Technical Documentation Engineer, you are the link between our engineering reality and our compliance obligations. This is, at heart, an automation problem. You pull information from where it lives (code, processes, systems), put it in the right place, and build the processes and tooling that keep it current and self-validating against the actual state of our systems. You won’t manually do every update — you own and design the process by which updates flow into the knowledge base. And yes, sometimes you’ll write clear, structured documentation that makes a concept unambiguous. It’s the most exciting time imaginable to do this kind of work, because so much of it can now be automated — but it still takes someone genuinely engaged in documentation and compliance to do it well.

You’ll sit at the intersection of Engineering and Compliance at Noxtua — close to the people writing the code and shaping the processes, and close to the people who answer for them to auditors, customers, and regulators. As we certify and operate Europe’s sovereign Legal AI, this role becomes the engineering‑side counterpart to the business side of compliance: the person who makes sure that what is actually happening inside our code and processes is captured, structured, and kept true.

About You

• Firmly proficient in Programming Language — Python or TypeScript ideal, but real depth in one matters more. If you’re good in one, we trust that you can pick up the others.
• You can read code and processes and translate them into documentation that other departments — including non‑engineers — can actually use. Being that bridge is the core skill we assess for.
• Genuinely interested in the documentation problem space and compliance setups — you see the value in keeping a knowledge base accurate, not just shipping the next feature.
• Strong automation mindset: your instinct is to build the process and tooling that keep things up to date, rather than to do everything by hand.
• In‑depth security knowledge of AI systems — ideally with hands‑on experience of the security architecture of AI systems and organisations, and familiarity with compliance schemes and ISO standards (e.g. ISO 27001, 42001). This is central to the role.
• Structured, self‑driven, and comfortable owning an ambiguous, evolving mandate — this is a new kind of role, and you’ll help shape it.
• Excellent written and spoken English and German is a plus.
• Exposure to Regulatory and Compliance frameworks, e.g., GDPR, AI Act, ISO Standards, Data Act, CRA.

Your Responsibilities

• Own the compliance knowledge base: collect, organize, structure, and continuously validate the information that feeds our AI‑generated compliance answers.
• Design and run the process by which updates enter the knowledge base — making sure it stays current as code and processes change, without relying on manual effort alone.
• Build automations that extract information from code, systems, and processes, and keep documentation synchronized with the actual state of our systems.
• Translate technical reality into clear, structured documentation that other teams and external stakeholders can rely on, especially at the breaking points that matter most for compliance.
• Act as the engineering‑side link to Compliance and Legal teams, surfacing what needs to be communicated outward and ensuring it is accurate, timely, and well‑founded.

Our offer to you

• Remote: 100% remote work possible (given a German residence), other countries upon request.
• Working hours: Flexible working hours.
• Vacation: 26 days + December 24th & 31st off, + 1 additional vacation day per year of employment (up to 30 days).
• Discounts: e.g., Urban Sports Club Membership, depending on location.
• Equipment: Laptop (Lenovo or Mac), plus €1,000 net home office setup budget (paid with your first salary).

Salary ranges gross per year

• Germany: €80k – €85k EUR.

About Us

Noxtua is Europe’s sovereign Legal AI. This legally competent AI covers the entire spectrum of legal text work – from information gathering (research) and analysis of complex issues (understanding) to document creation (drafting). The legally compliant AI meets the professional, criminal, and data protection requirements for lawyers (e.g. Section 203 German Criminal Code, Section 43e German Federal Code for Lawyers), is certified according to BSI C5, TISAX, ISO 27001, 9001, 27018, 27017, and 42001. The tech company Noxtua has formed exclusive partnerships with leading European publishing houses from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia for the Legal AI Workspaces Beck‑Noxtua, MANZ‑Noxtua, Swiss‑Noxtua, Beck‑Noxtua Poland, Beck‑Noxtua Czech Republic and Beck‑Noxtua Slovakia.

Founded in 2017 in the German capital as a result of a research project by Dr. Leif‑Nissen Lundbæk and Professor Dr. Michael Huth at Oxford University and Imperial College London, the European legal tech company has many years of experience in developing GDPR‑compliant AI solutions and now has offices in Paris, Berlin, Zagreb, and Munich. Strategic partners including Germany’s leading legal publisher C.H.BECK as well as the leading law firms CMS and Dentons have invested around 81 million EURO in the European scaleup as part of its Series B.

We explicitly encourage women to apply, as they are currently under‑represented. Our goal is to build a diverse and inclusive work environment that values different perspectives. Of course, we welcome applications from all qualified individuals – regardless of gender, ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, or sexual identity.
