Job description

• This is a Pre-Sales technical role embedded in Mintlify’s Sales Team
• You are not a traditional Sales Engineer running canned demos - you are a builder who helps close complex enterprise deals by scoping, prototyping, and delivering custom technical solutions alongside Account Executives
• As enterprise customers evaluate Mintlify, they often require additional technical validation before moving forward
• Your role is to reduce friction in this process by translating customer needs into practical technical solutions, building what’s necessary to demonstrate value, and supporting the sales team in closing larger, more complex deals without straining core engineering
• In this role, you will work closely with Sales, Engineering, Product, and the CEO to win our most strategic deals and turn one-off custom work into repeatable, productized capabilities
• This role is for someone who wants to roll up their sleeves and build
• Partnering with Enterprise AEs on complex enterprise and mid-market deals from discovery through close, serving as the go-to technical operator
• Leading deep technical discovery to understand customer documentation workflows, integrations, and success criteria
• Designing and building custom demos, prototypes, and proofs-of-concept that directly unblock deals and accelerate decisions
• Presenting technical solutions to mixed audiences, from frontline engineers to executive buyers
• Translate customer requirements into clear technical specifications that engineering can realistically deliver
• Scope custom work with enough fidelity to inform pricing, timelines, and contract structure
• Partner with engineering leadership to estimate effort, assess feasibility, and flag risks early. Identify technical debt, integration complexity, or maintenance concerns before deals are signed
• Share customer and field insights to influence product roadmap and go-to-market strategy
• Build internal tools, templates, and processes that make technical selling more repeatable and scalable
