What you're asking for is not for the company to hire technical writers but reverse engineers. That's a much harder role to hire as the people who have the skills to do it are the same developers who don't want to do it.
Ultimately, mature developers just have to write docs. There's no alternative or lifestyle hack managers can come up with.

First, if the architects properly document what they designed, there is no need to reverse engineer it. I don't know how frequent this is, but it's my experience that the architects often don't bother to have a model of the entire system -- they only care about the feature they are designing currently. It is then the developer's job to reverse engineer the entire design by looking at the code. And I would like this to stop.
