Technical Writer (kotlin Ecosystem) New

Berlin, BE, DE, Germany

Job Description

Kotlin is a multiplatform programming language used at scale for Android, backend, desktop, and cross-platform development. It has a broad ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, and JetBrains is committed to delivering a first-class onboarding and developer experience across that ecosystem.



We’re looking for a technical writer to join the Kotlin Ecosystem team and work on documentation for the Kotlin language, its libraries, tooling, and frameworks.

This is a fixed-term position for a duration of 12 months.



At JetBrains, technical writers work directly with engineers and QAs to gather technical details. We also collaborate with product management, marketing, and support teams to process user feedback and set priorities. Documentation is written in Markdown using Writerside and IntelliJ IDEA, stored in Git, and developed through peer review.


As part of our team, you will:




Plan, write, and maintain guides, tutorials, reference topics, and “What’s New” content for Kotlin and ecosystem projects. Update and improve existing docs based on product changes and user feedback. Work closely with product teams to understand features and how developers use them. Collaborate with support, marketing, and product managers to understand user needs and prioritize work. Address the needs of both new and experienced users to help them learn effectively. Process and triage user feedback into actionable documentation improvements. Own documentation end-to-end, ensuring quality and accuracy.

Requirements:




3+ years of technical writing with excellent written English and a clear, explanatory style. Proficiency in docs-as-code workflows: Markdown, Git, code review, and release-driven content updates. Experience managing complex documentation with versioning and deprecations while multitasking across projects.

Preferable:




Knowledge or hands-on experience with programming languages. Strong technical skills in adjacent IT/software areas. High autonomy: ability to break down tasks, plan independently, and meet deadlines.

We offer:




The chance to shape documentation standards and improve onboarding for millions of Kotlin developers. A supportive, product-focused team, mentorship, and a personal learning budget. Modern authoring and publishing workflows with a Markdown+Git toolchain. #

The benefits we offer*:




Strong base salary. We offer competitive pay that reflects your skills and experience. Flexible work schedule. Enjoy the freedom to work from home or from the office, and set your hours around when you’re most productive. Extra time off. More days to relax, recharge, and do you. Learning and development opportunities. Get access to conferences, courses, and language classes to grow your skills and advance your career. Relocation support. If your offer includes a relocation package, we will help make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible. Free meals and snacks. Lunch and refreshments are provided to keep you fueled throughout the day. Health and wellness. On-site gyms or sports club stipends help you stay active. Internal events. From company-wide celebrations and team gatherings to internal hackathons, we bring people together to connect and create.
