  • Collaborate with engineering during feature development to ensure optimal developer experience

  • Maintain up-to-date documentation across platforms
  • Test all code examples and technical procedures to ensure accuracy
  • Collaborate with subject matter experts to validate technical accuracy
  • What you bring :

  • 3-8 years of technical writing experience in data / analytics, developer tools, modern data stack companies, or equivalent
  • Hands-on experience as a data engineer, analytics engineer, data analyst, data scientist, software engineer, or equivalent
  • Deep understanding of modern data stack (dbt, Airflow, Fivetran, Looker, etc.)
  • Proficiency in Python and / or other programming languages, plus analytical SQL
  • Proven ability to write clear technical documentation from scratch based on personal product experience
  • Strong project management skills for concurrent projects in fast-paced environments
  • Customer success mindset with experience gathering and acting on user feedback
  • Experience collaborating with engineering teams and technical stakeholders

  • Portfolio demonstrating high-quality technical writing for developer audiences
  • What people should be saying if you’re doing ducking awesome :

  • “Omg, MotherDuck’s docs are ducking awesome. I found exactly what I was looking for to get up to speed with MotherDuck and how it’s different from other data warehouses I’ve worked with.”
  • “I’m a software engineer in charge of building analytics into our application. Although I don’t understand the modern data stack world very well, I was able to easily understand how MotherDuck works and dive right into their tutorial on customer facing analytics.”
  • “MotherDuck has a fun brand and their docs incorporated just enough brand in them to make my job more interesting, while still enabling me to understand all the required SQL syntax.”
  • What we provide :
  • For US :
  • Feather-ruffling compensation – competitive salary and stock options so you have a stake in our flock’s success.
  • Top-notch healthcare coverage – 100% paid medical, dental, and vision for employees, plus 80% coverage for dependents (because we care about your whole nest).
  • Flexible PTO – take the time you need to recharge, explore, or just have a lazy day by the pond.
  • 401k plan – because even ducks need to plan for the future.
  • Legendary company events – we bring the whole flock together twice a year for unforgettable summits in fun locations, plus 1-2 team gatherings a year to keep our bonds strong.
  • Hybrid work environment – Spend three days a week in the office collaborating with the flock, and work from wherever you’re most productive the rest of the time—whether that’s your home office, a coffee shop, or a peaceful lakeside retreat.
  • For Amsterdam :

  • A good pension plan
  • Legendary company events – we bring the whole flock together twice a year for unforgettable summits in fun locations, plus 1-2 team gatherings a year to keep our bonds strong.
  • Hybrid work environment – Spend three days a week in the office collaborating with the flock, and work from wherever you’re most productive the rest of the time—whether that’s your home office, a coffee shop, or a peaceful lakeside retreat. We have to warn you though, most of us like the office so much we come anyway. It’s on the river Ij, with a great lunch every day.
  • Please Apply

    Does this role sound appealing to you, but you’re missing some of the requirements or don’t quite think you’re qualified? Please apply anyway.
