These solutions leverage the industry's open-source leader with over 100 million downloads. At Liquibase, we support a large number of customers, value creativity, and solve complex problems around data management. This is a company where you can expect opportunities to grow.

Liquibase is hiring a Technical Writer to join our Documentation team, partnering alongside our Technical Writer and Content Engineer. This is a versatile, high-impact role responsible for keeping developer documentation accurate, clear, and actionable. You will craft engaging learning materials across our docs and Liquibase University, test technical instructions directly in the command line, and help operationalize modern agentic AI workflows to scale content quality. If you are an adaptable writer with a keen editorial eye and an appetite for learning developer-centric tools, you will thrive here.

Who you are:

• You surprise and delight customers by delivering meaningful value, turning complex database automation concepts into clear, frictionless guides.
• You’re committed to excellence, holding high editorial standards while balancing speed and continuous iteration.
• You bring a growth mindset and an eagerness to learn developer workflows, CLI tooling, and modern documentation technology.
• You embrace change and uncertainty with energy and optimism, comfortable context-switching between planned roadmap deliverables and real-time customer feedback.
• You take ownership and follow through, proactively testing docs hands-on and resolving user pain points from start to finish.
• You are innovative. You see agentic AI not as a replacement, but as an opportunity to scale and train automated documentation quality.

What you’ll be doing:

• Author, edit, and maintain high-quality documentation, user guides, release notes, and reference material for Liquibase core features, extensions, and integrations.
• Partner with Documentation, Marketing, Support, and Customer Success teams to develop interactive coursework and training materials.
• Hands-on testing of technical documentation and examples in the product, verifying that installation steps, flags, and workflows function exactly as published.
• Review, triage, and process inbound feedback, prioritizing fixes and updating content to address customer friction.
• Help train and evaluate agentic AI tools, enforcing editorial rule sets, evaluating AI-generated drafts, and providing feedback to optimize internal automation prompts.
• Apply core documentation best practices and topic-based authoring principles to maintain modular, searchable, and easily navigable docs.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Support, and Security teams to capture upcoming feature changes and technical specifications early in the development cycle.
• Contribute to docs-as-code workflows using Git for version control, review pull requests, and manage content in structured markup languages (Markdown, YAML, XML, HTML).

Must Haves:

• Bachelor’s degree in English, Technical Communication, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Demonstrated editorial experience: exceptional developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading skills with acute attention to clarity and structure.
• An authentic eagerness to learn and experiment with developer tooling, technical applications, and emerging documentation tech.
• Critical thinking skills to evaluate technical content from an end-user perspective and explain why an edit is necessary.
• Strong multitasking skills with the agility to manage ad-hoc user feedback alongside ongoing content initiatives.

Nice to Haves:

• Experience working with version control platforms such as Git, GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps in a docs-as-code environment.
• Comfort working in the terminal/CLI (running commands, reviewing terminal outputs, verifying CLI options).
• Experience experimenting with or prompting agentic AI platforms (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) for content generation, editing, or rule enforcement.
• Experience developing training curricula, tutorials, or online coursework (e.g., LMS/University platforms).
• Familiarity with topic-based authoring principles or structured formats like DITA.
• Hands-on exposure to markup and data-interchange formats such as Markdown, YAML, XML, HTML, and JSON.
• Experience authoring or reviewing REST API documentation.

• Meaningful equity
• Comprehensive health, vision, and dental benefits - country dependent
• Generous paid time off and paid holidays
