Senior Technical Writer / Developer Educator

Who you are

• 5+ years in technical writing, developer documentation, or developer education (SaaS, APIs, infrastructure, or AI/ML preferred)
• Proven ability to write for technical audiences—APIs, deployment guides, code examples, system architecture
• Experience validating technical accuracy through hands-on testing and experimentation
• Comfortable with Markdown, Git, and technical documentation tools (Docusaurus, Sphinx, or similar)
• Experience with API testing and validation (Postman, curl, or REST clients)
• Familiarity with code examples, including Python, JavaScript, or CLI workflows
• Ability to understand and test complex deployment scenarios (Docker, Kubernetes, on-premises infrastructure a plus)
• Fluent English (primary working language); French is a bonus

What the job involves

• As our Senior Technical Writer / Developer Educator, you will drive the quality, technical accuracy, and clarity of developer-facing documentation at Mistral AI
• This is an individual contributor role focused on hands-on excellence, strategic content design, and ensuring that developers can successfully integrate with and deploy Mistral products
• You will work closely with Engineering, Product, and Support teams, combining technical validation with compelling storytelling to create documentation that developers love
• Technical Documentation & Strategy:
• Author and maintain high-quality, technically accurate documentation for APIs, SDKs, tutorials, deployment guides, and release notes
• Contribute to documentation strategy and content roadmap, identifying gaps and proposing solutions
• Develop a clear, consistent editorial voice and narrative approach across documentation
• Create information architecture and content structures for complex technical topics, especially on-premises deployment scenarios
• Hands-On Technical Validation:
• Test all APIs, features, and deployment workflows before documenting
• Validate documentation by reproducing user workflows; catch inaccuracies, edge cases, and unclear instructions before publication
• Experiment with and understand the technical depth needed for both self-serve and on-premises documentation
• Own the responsibility that what you ship works, is testable, and solves real developer problems
• Collaboration & Cross-Functional Impact:
• Work closely with Engineering and Product to understand feature scope, technical requirements, and deployment complexities
• Participate in technical reviews, design discussions, and release planning to ensure documentation is integrated early
• Gather feedback from Support, DevRel, and users to identify documentation pain points and opportunities
• Advocate for clarity and user experience in product design and documentation decisions
• Quality, Consistency & Standards:
• Help define and enforce tone guidelines, content standards, and documentation best practices
• Ensure consistency in terminology, voice, and narrative across documentation—self-serve vs. on-premises, API reference vs. tutorials
• Document as if you're telling a story: show why a feature matters, what problem it solves, not just how it works
• Use modern documentation tools and practices—Markdown, Git, headless CMS, and AI tools—to streamline production
