Technical Documentation Engineer

As a Technical Documentation Engineer, you are the link between engineering reality and compliance obligations. You pull information from where it lives (code, processes, systems), put it in the right place, and build the processes and tooling that keep it current and self-validating against the actual state of systems. You'll sit at the intersection of Engineering and Compliance — close to the people writing the code and shaping the processes, and close to the people who answer for them to auditors, customers, and regulators.

What you'll do

• Own the compliance knowledge base: collect, organize, structure, and continuously validate the information that feeds compliance answers.
• Design and run the process by which updates enter the knowledge base — making sure it stays current as code and processes change, without relying on manual effort alone.
• Build automations that extract information from code, systems, and processes, and keep documentation synchronized with the actual state of systems.
• Translate technical reality into clear, structured documentation that other teams and external stakeholders can rely on.
• Act as the engineering-side link to Compliance and Legal teams, surfacing what needs to be communicated outward and ensuring it is accurate, timely, and well-founded.

What you'll need

• Firmly proficient in Programming Language — Python or TypeScript ideal, but real depth in one matters more.
• You can read code and processes and translate them into documentation that other departments — including non-engineers — can actually use.
• Genuinely interested in the documentation problem space and compliance setups — you see the value in keeping a knowledge base accurate.
• Strong automation mindset: your instinct is to build the process and tooling that keep things up to date, rather than do everything by hand.
• In-depth security knowledge of AI systems — ideally with hands-on experience of the security architecture of AI systems and organisations, and familiarity with compliance schemes and ISO standards (e.g. ISO 27001, 42001).
• Structured, self-driven, and comfortable owning an ambiguous, evolving mandate.
• Exposure to Regulatory and Compliance frameworks, e.g., GDPR, AI Act, ISO Standards, Data Act, CRA.
