Here are our current docs:

If this sounds like an exciting challenge—and you already see ways to make it even better—then this might just be the perfect role for you.

Mission
  • Define and own our documentation vision — making it intuitive, empowering, and comprehensive for all technical users.
  • Write and ship high-quality, user-centered docs — from quickstart guides to advanced API walkthroughs and real-world use cases.
  • Mentor and lead a growing team of technical writers, helping them prioritize, grow, and deliver exceptional content.
  • Work across teams — from Engineering and Product to DevRel and Support — to ensure our docs answer the right questions at the right time.
  • Build repeatable systems for writing, reviewing, and maintaining docs as a living, breathing part of our product.
  • Elevate the voice and tone of n8n docs: clear, helpful, and friendly — no jargon, no fluff.
  • Support our community of contributors, making it easy to collaborate and uphold high content standards.

Must-have
  • You've spent 5 years creating documentation for technical products as well as experience leading and setting the overall strategy.
  • Understand how docs can impact adoption and engagement, and you know your way around important metrics
  • You're experienced with Docs-as-Code, and tools like Git, Markdown, and static site generators.
  • You're comfortable diving into technical concepts — APIs, JavaScript, JSON — and exploring tools like n8n hands-on to understand how things work.
  • You write with structure and clarity, but also bring warmth and accessibility to your tone.

Nice-to-have
  • Background in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field.
  • Prior experience working in open-source or with developer communities.
  • Familiarity with workflow automation tools or low-code platforms.
