About xAI

xAI’s mission is to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge.

Our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence. This organization is for individuals who appreciate challenging themselves and thrive on curiosity. Engineers are encouraged to work across multiple areas of the company, and as a result, all engineers and researchers share the title "Member of Technical Staff."

We operate with a flat organizational structure. All employees are expected to be hands-on and to contribute directly to the company’s mission. Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver excellence. Work ethic and strong prioritization skills are important.

All engineers and researchers are expected to have strong communication skills. They should be able to concisely and accurately share knowledge with their teammates.

xAI does not have recruiters. Every application is reviewed directly by a technical member of the team.

About the Role

As a Technical Writer, you will create, maintain, and improve technical documentation that simplifies the complexities of AI and machine learning (ML) products. You will work closely with engineering groups, data scientists, and AI researchers to distill complex AI models, algorithms, and technologies into user-friendly documentation that is accurate, clear, and useful for the intended audience. 

  • Write comprehensive documentation about xAI SDKs, prompt libraries, cookbooks with example integrations, machine learning model overviews, product use guidelines, data pipelines, AI workflows, and model deployment processes.
  • Deliver coherent, efficient outputs that exhibit extraordinary attention to detail in both technical and grammatical accuracy.
  • Interpret and break down complex AI/ML concepts into clear, concise, simplified explanations for non-technical stakeholders or customers.
  • Collaborate across teams to ensure accurate and timely delivery of high-quality documents.
  • Organize and maintain a structured content library and manage version control and searchability of documentation in content management systems (CMS) or knowledge bases.
  • Act as a liaison between development teams and end-users, ensuring that documentation is clear, accurate, and aligned with real-world use cases.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree in science, engineering, writing, or journalism
  • 3+ years of experience in technical writing
  • Experience documenting AI tools, machine learning frameworks, APIs, and complex software systems.
  • Demonstrated ability to swiftly grasp, understand, and effectively communicate (verbal and written) AI/ML concepts, algorithms, and workflows (e.g., supervised/unsupervised learning, deep learning, NLP).
  • Attention to detail and quality, including fact-checking, logical flow, formatting, proofreading, and document structure.
  • Evidence of independently driving projects (individual or team projects) from concept to completion.

Preferred Skills & Qualifications

  • Advanced knowledge of AI is a plus.
  • Knowledge or experience in Python, JS/TS, Shell, and Markdown.
  • Hands-on engineering or programming experience.
  • Familiarity with software and production.
  • Prior experience writing user and/or system documentation.
