Description du poste

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 18,000+ companies, including Anthropic, Microsoft, PayPal, Spotify, Coinbase, X, and over 20% of the last YC batch.

• Small team, huge impact: We’re under 50 people today, backed by $22 million in funding, each new hire shapes 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.

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.
