Technical writing is about relating new information in the area you are writing about to the existing knowledge of your audience. In order to do that you need to have some degree of that existing specialist knowledge yourself.

In this case, it sounds like the thing you would like to highlight, is the specialist knowledge that you possess that enables you to write for an audience of software developers.

To that end, I suggest something like:

"Writer, specializing in technical documentation for software developers"

It might seem a little wordy, but it's crystal clear what you mean at first reading. Anything shorter may confuse the reader, and let's face it, that would be the antithesis of what a good technical writer should do.
