Technical Writer (Part Time)
Required skills
3+ years of technical writing experience, ideally for developer tools, ML platforms, or open-source projects alongside engineering teams in a fast-moving startup or research environment. Hands-on experience with docs-as-code workflows: Markdown, Git, pull requests, and CI/CD-integrated documentation pipelines. Strong technical writing fundamentals: clear structure, consistent terminology, audience-aware tone. Familiarity with AI-assisted writing tools and experience integrating them into documentation workflows. Possess university level Python to produce relevant example code to be used in live documentation. Ability to independently research and synthesise technical concepts from source code, papers, and conversations with engineers. Solid understanding of machine learning concepts, especially supervised and unsupervised learning, enough to write confidently for an ML-practitioner audience. Understanding of open-source contribution dynamics and how to write documentation that serves both core users and community contributors. You are proactive: you spot gaps before they become problems and propose solutions without being asked.
Preferred skills
Prior experience setting up a documentation system from scratch, including style guides and contribution guidelines. Experience with video or visual content creation (screencasts, diagrams, interactive notebooks) as a complement to written docs.
Technologies
GitHub, Linear, Mintlify, Markdown, Python.
Responsibilities
Audit, rewrite, and expand our existing documentation across our open-source repositories (TabPFN, tabpfn-extensions, tabpfn-client) and API reference. Author new content including tutorials, how-to guides, conceptual explainers, and real-world use case examples targeted for ML practitioners and data scientists. Design and implement a modern, AI-assisted documentation workflow using our current stack (GitHub, Linear, Mintlify) to keep docs in sync with code changes. Work closely with engineers to translate complex model behaviour and API design into clear, accurate developer-facing content. Contribute Mintlify-compatible Markdown that follows our style and renders correctly in our docs site. Own the docs roadmap and prioritise improvements based on user feedback and product changes.
