About the Role
WHY MINTLIFY?
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 50 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 https://mattrickard.com/hire-slope-not-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.
JOB DESCRIPTION
We are looking for product-minded engineers who want to build critical, user-facing features. We don’t expect you to be an expert in everything. Instead, 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.
WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON
You won’t just be picking up tickets; 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, delightful UX. You will help bridge the gap between "working code" and a "great product."
- Performance & Scale: Improve application performance through profiling and implement scalable solutions that grow with our user base.
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE
- 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.
WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN OUR ENGINEERING TEAM
- 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.
COMPANY BENEFITS:
- 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)
