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 10,000+ companies, including Anthropic, Cursor, PayPal, Coinbase, X, and over 20% of the last YC batch.

  • Small team, huge impact: We’re only 32 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.

What you'll work on here

  • 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

  • Building and deploying Next.js applications in production environments

  • Contributing to both greenfield product development and improvements to established products, with a focus on user experience craft, architecture quality and performance.

What you bring to the table

  • You've built and deployed Next.js applications in production environments

  • You have a good looking portfolio. No broken links!

  • You have a strong eye for design, typography, spacing, and visual hierarchy

  • Bonus points: Familiarity with UI / UX design tools (Figma, Adobe XD). Extra bonus if you have experience with testing frameworks (Vitest, React Testing Library, Storybook)

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.
