Technical Writer AI & Engineering Education
Location: San Mateo, CA 94402- Hybrid
Duration: 12 Months+


Client is building the future of AI education and we need a sharp, flexible Technical Writer to help us translate complexity into clarity.
This role sits within the Learning & Development team. You'll work closely with SMEs across technical domains (engineering, infrastructure, tools, AI) to build learning content that helps teams adopt new technologies, tools, and ways of working. Your work will primarily focus on helping technical teams learn not just documenting systems.
We're looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, writes with impact, and can flex between deep technical material and broader learning needs. If you're equally comfortable explaining how to use a dev tool as you are building just-in-time learning resources, read on.

What You'll Do
Write clear, concise instructional content for engineering and technical teams
Translate technical subject matter (tools, systems, AI workflows) into learning materials, quickstart guides, and onboarding resources
Collaborate with SMEs and L&D partners to structure and deliver content that drives adoption and learning
Build modular content that scales decks, documentation, bite-sized learning assets, etc.
Help establish content standards, style guidelines, and version control workflows
Adapt as priorities shift contributing to cross-functional projects beyond core documentation when needed

What We're Looking For
3-5 years of experience writing instructional content for technical audiences (engineers, developers, product teams)
Excellent writing, structuring, and editing skills you make the complex simple
Ability to work independently, manage projects, and meet deadlines without hand-holding
Familiarity with tools like Confluence, GitHub, Markdown, and modern authoring platforms
Curiosity and willingness to learn new tools, new tech, new ways of working
Strong collaborator who can work across functions, including L&D, engineering, and AI teams

Bonus If You Bring:
AI literacy and experience writing about AI tools or workflows
Experience building internal documentation or enablement for technical teams
Background in instructional design, technical training, or developer experience
