Assistant Bentley Jobs (NOW HIRING)

AI Documentation Engineer

Location: Exton / Philadelphia, PA (Hybrid)

About the Role

Bentley's software powers critical infrastructure around the world, and our documentation is a core part of how users experience our products. We're building a new documentation platform and AI layer that makes our content easier to create, maintain, and consume - both by humans and by AI agents.

We're looking for an AI Documentation Engineer to design and build the systems that sit at the intersection of LLMs, structured content, and our docs toolchain. You'll work closely with documentation leaders, platform engineers, and product teams to:

• Use AI to assist writers and automate repetitive documentation tasks, and
• Ensure our DITAbased documentation is structured, enriched, and delivered in a way that AI systems can reliably consume.

This is a handson engineering role with a clear, highimpact charter.

Responsibilities:

• Build AIassisted tooling for documentation
• Develop services and utilities that help with classification, tagging, summarization, link and structure validation, and content quality checks.
• Integrate these tools into our existing authoring and publishing workflows.
• Make documentation AIready
• Design and implement transformations, pipelines, and metadata models so our DITA XML content is easy for AI to chunk, index, and reason over.
• Work with architects and documentation leaders to define what "AIready documentation" means in practice (structure, semantics, metadata, context).
• Integrate with our docs stack and AI experiences
• Work within our content pipeline (Oxygen/DITA, OpenDITA, Git, Azure DevOps pipelines) to add AIpowered capabilities without disrupting writers.
• Build and extend APIs that power AIdriven documentation experiences, such as search and Q&A assistants.
• Collaborate across teams
• Partner with documentation leadership, platform/DevOps engineers, and product teams to identify highvalue automation and AI use cases.
• Contribute technical insight to our Documentation Community of Practice on how to best prepare content for AI systems.
• This position does not require travel.
• Requires sitting or standing at will while performing work on a computer (or any other physical requirements).

Qualifications:

• Engineering experience with one or more of: Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar languages.
• Handson experience with AI/ML or LLMs, such as building RAG pipelines, integrating with LLM APIs, or developing AIassisted workflows.
• Familiarity with structured content (DITA XML or similar), and comfort working with schemadriven or strongly structured data.
• Experience building or integrating with content or data pipelines (e.g., Gitbased workflows, CI/CD, message queues, or microservices).
• Strong problemsolving skills, curiosity, and an interest in how people discover and use technical content.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with technical writers, platform engineers, and product stakeholders.

Why Join Bentley

• Work on realworld AI applications that directly improve how engineers and practitioners learn and use complex software.
• Help shape a new, strategic capability and have a visible impact on our documentation experience.
• Join a collaborative environment where experimentation is encouraged and documentation is treated as a firstclass product asset.
