This position is well-suited for someone who enjoys collaborating with others, learning new technologies, and translating complex ideas into simple, accessible content.
You’ll work closely with teams across product, engineering, and marketing to ensure our documentation supports product goals, is technically accurate, and meets user needs.

Over time, you’ll develop a deep understanding of the Botpress product and platform, allowing you to explain its features and functionality in a way that empowers users to achieve their goals.
You’ll also spend time understanding the challenges and questions our users and customers face, ensuring that our documentation addresses their needs effectively and provides real value. Whether you’re documenting a developer tool or answering a common customer question, your work will be focused on making the platform easier to use and understand.
This is an opportunity to grow your skills in technical writing, build your expertise in agentic AI, and be part of an innovative and supportive team. Strong communication and writing skills are essential for this role, and we welcome candidates who are excellent writers—even if you don’t have a technical background.
