Freelance - Science & Technical Writer (all genders) - The Decoder
You speak both languages: science and people.
We build award-winning smart glasses in Vienna: hardware, firmware, software, all under one roof. Eye tracking is at the heart of our technology. Our technology is complex, peer-reviewed, and genuinely worth writing about. We’re looking for a freelance science and technical writer who can take a briefing, dive deep into the subject matter, and come back with content that is accurate, compelling, and publication-ready, in both German and English.
This isn’t ghostwriting for generalists. It’s serious technical content that needs a serious writer.

What You Bring to the Team
Several years of proven experience in scientific or technical writing, ideally in deep-tech or a B2B technology environment
A background in natural sciences, engineering, or a related technical field; genuine interest in eye tracking or related topics such as computer vision, human-machine interaction, or wearables.
The ability to independently work through complex topics after a briefing. You ask the right questions and find your own way to the answer
Flawless writing in German and English, with a sharp eye for accuracy, nuance, and tone
A structured, reliable, and precise way of working. You own a piece from first draft to final version
