About this 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 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 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 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 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.
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE
- 4+ years of software development experience.
- A Technical "Spike": You have deep 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.

- Competitive compensation and equity
- 20 days paid time off every year
- 401k or RRSP
- $420/month wellness stipend
- 100% coverage for Health, dental, vision (within the US)
