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 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 : 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.

Crafting beautiful, responsive interfaces while maintaining excellent code quality and performance
Building user-facing features with scalable component and design systems
Working closely with founders and design to implement fast new feature concepts

Why you should join our engineering team
Engineers at Mintlify appreciate a high degree of ownership, are passionate about a tasteful user experience, and come to work ready to contribute to a small-but-mighty team.
You’ll have plenty of heads down builder time. We believe in the power of strong teams to drive change - and have created an environment where the best ideas win and we can acknowledge when we’re wrong.
We’re all about finding the intersection between what excites you and business priorities. You’ll jump into new territory and learn something new. You’ll own projects and features. You’ll ship.
