[Hiring] Technical Documentation Engineer @Noxtua

Role Description

As a Technical Documentation Engineer, you are the link between our engineering reality and our compliance obligations. This is, at heart, an automation problem. 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 our systems. You won't manually do every update — you own and design the process by which updates flow into the knowledge base. And yes, sometimes you'll write clear, structured documentation that makes a concept unambiguous. It's the most exciting time imaginable to do this kind of work, because so much of it can now be automated — but it still takes someone genuinely engaged in documentation and compliance to do it well.

You'll sit at the intersection of Engineering and Compliance at Noxtua — 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. As we certify and operate Europe's sovereign Legal AI, this role becomes the engineering-side counterpart to the business side of compliance: the person who makes sure that what is actually happening inside our code and processes is captured, structured, and kept true.

Qualifications

• 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.
• Strong automation mindset: your instinct is to build the process and tooling that keep things up to date.
• In-depth security knowledge of AI systems — ideally with hands-on experience of the security architecture of AI systems and organisations.
• Structured, self-driven, and comfortable owning an ambiguous, evolving mandate.
• Excellent written and spoken English; German is a plus.
• Exposure to Regulatory and Compliance frameworks, e.g., GDPR, AI Act, ISO Standards, Data Act, CRA.

Requirements

• Own the compliance knowledge base: collect, organize, structure, and continuously validate the information that feeds our AI-generated compliance answers.
• Design and run the process by which updates enter the knowledge base — making sure it stays current as code and processes change.
• Build automations that extract information from code, systems, and processes, and keep documentation synchronized with the actual state of our 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.

Benefits

• Remote: 100% remote work possible (given German residence), other countries upon request.
• Working hours: Flexible working hours.
• Vacation: 26 days + December 24th & 31st off, + 1 additional vacation day per year of employment (up to 30 days).
• Discounts: e.g., Urban Sports Club Membership, depending on location.
• Equipment: Laptop (Lenovo or Mac), plus €1,000 net home office setup budget (paid with your first salary).
• Salary ranges gross per year: Germany: €80k – €85k EUR.
