Build critical, user-facing features and influence product direction and engineering approaches across the stack.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of software development experience.
  • A Technical "Spike": You have deep, Senior/Staff level expertise in EITHER : Frontend: Deep knowledge of React, Next.js, and TypeScript. You understand the Virtual DOM, state management complexities, and CSS architecture.
  • Backend: Strong systems design skills, API architecture, database optimization, and scalable infrastructure.
  • Product Intuition: You have a desire to work on front-facing products that users interact with daily. You care about the "why" as much as the "how."
  • Adaptability: You are willing to step outside your comfort zone. If you are backend-heavy, you are willing to touch the frontend (and vice versa) to get a feature over the line.
  • Agency & Ownership: You thrive in environments where you define the solution rather than just implementing a spec.

Conditions

  • Competitive compensation and equity
  • 20 days paid time off every year
  • 401k or RRSP
  • $420/mo. wellness stipend
  • 100% coverage for Health, dental, vision
  • Free Ubers to and from work
  • Free lunch and dinners
  • Annual team offsite (previously went to Alaska, Hawaii)

Other

  • We're on a mission to empower builders.
  • Massive reach: Our docs platform serves 100 million+ developers every year and powers documentation for 20,000+ companies, including Anthropic, Microsoft, PayPal, Spotify, Coinbase, X, and over 20% of the last YC batch.
  • Small team, huge impact: We recently passed 65 employees and raised a $45 million Series B led by A16Z and Salesforce Ventures. Each new hire has a huge impact on shaping the company's trajectory.
  • Culture of slope over y-intercept : We value learning velocity, grit, and unapologetically unique personalities.
  • We grew in value faster than headcount and we’re looking to align the two quickly.
  • We are looking for product-minded engineers who want to build critical, user-facing features. We are looking for candidates with a distinct "spike" in technical depth , whether that is crafting complex React UIs or architecting scalable backend systems.
  • We have a stage in our interview process built-in for you to showcase your strengths. If you are already fullstack, a backend wizard who wants to get closer to the user, or a frontend architect ready to own full features, we want to hear from you.
  • You will have the agency to shape product direction and engineering approaches across the stack.
  • Build the full lifecycle: Collaborate closely with design and engineering to architect and ship customer-facing functionality from 0-to-1.
  • Solve complex technical challenges: Whether it’s optimizing virtualized rendering for large data collections or architecting reliable content management systems, you will tackle hard engineering problems.
  • Drive User Experience: Contribute to a smooth, fritionless UX. You will help do the last mile work to move from "working code" into a "great product."
  • Performance & Scale: Improve application performance through profiling and implement scalable solutions that grow with our user base.
  • Flexible Interview Process: We want to see you at your best. We have a built in "showcase" stage in our interview loop to focus on your specific area of expertise.
  • High Agency: Engineers at Mintlify aren't code monkeys; they are product builders. You will drive change and have a voice in strategic decisions.
  • Heads-down Builder Time: We protect your focus. We believe in small, mighty teams where the best ideas win, regardless of title.
  • Growth & Impact: We find the intersection between what excites you and business priorities. You’ll own projects, ship constantly, and see users benefit from your work immediately.
