Documentation Platform Engineer

Location: Dublin, Ireland (Hybrid)

Position Summary:

Bentley’s documentation platform, docs.bentley.com, is a critical part of how customers learn, troubleshoot, and succeed with our products. It is a public‑facing web platform backed by automated build and deployment pipelines, and it integrates with modern search and discovery services used across the company.

We’re looking for a Documentation Platform Engineer to help own and evolve this platform. This role is ideal for a generalist web engineer with strong DevOps skills—someone comfortable working across frontend code, backend services, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud‑hosted APIs. You’ll maintain the documentation website, support web‑service integrations, and help product teams integrate documentation cleanly into their own delivery pipelines.

Responsibilities:

Own and Evolve the Documentation Platform

Maintain and enhance a production web site using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
Work on site generation, automation, and publishing workflows written in Python.
Improve performance, reliability, and usability of the documentation experience over time.

Web & API Integrations

Build and maintain interactive frontend integrations using JavaScript, including:

Asynchronous API calls (fetch)
Streaming or incremental responses
UI state management for interactive features

Integrate the documentation platform with backend web services that power search and content discovery.
Debug issues that span frontend code, APIs, and backend services.

CI/CD, Automation, and DevOps

Own and improve Azure DevOps (ADO) pipelines used to build and publish documentation.
Support pipeline‑driven releases for the documentation platform (QA → PROD).
Write and maintain PowerShell scripts and other automation used in publishing and validation workflows.
Improve observability, reliability, and repeatability of releases.

Enable Other Engineering Teams

Work with product and platform teams to help integrate documentation into their build and release pipelines.
Provide practical guidance and tooling so teams can publish documentation confidently and consistently.
Act as a technical partner for documentation‑platform questions and integrations.

Collaborate Across the Stack

Work closely with documentation leadership, Release Services, and infrastructure teams.
Be comfortable operating in areas where ownership is shared across multiple teams.
Contribute to platform evolution as tooling and integrations modernize over time.
This role does not require travel
Requires sitting or standing at will while performing work on a computer (or any other physical requirements).

Qualifications:

Core Engineering Skills

Strong experience with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS in production web applications.
Backend or automation experience using Python.
Comfort working across frontend, backend, and automation codebases.

DevOps & Automation

Hands‑on experience with CI/CD pipelines, ideally Azure DevOps.
Strong scripting and automation skills (PowerShell preferred).
Practical understanding of build, deploy, and release workflows.

APIs & Cloud Integrations

Experience integrating REST APIs into web applications.
Familiarity with cloud‑hosted APIs and services (AWS‑based services are a plus).
Ability to debug and reason about issues that cross frontend code, APIs, and infrastructure.

Nice to Have:

Experience owning or maintaining a public‑facing website or platform.
Familiarity with content publishing systems or static‑site generation.
Exposure to search, chat, or AI‑assisted user experiences.
