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

  • Small team, huge impact: We’re only 43 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.

Company Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation and equity

  • 20 days paid time off every year

  • 401k or RRSP

  • $420/mo. wellness stipend

  • 100% coverage for Health, dental, vision

  • Free Ubers to and from work

  • Free lunch and dinners

  • Annual team offsite (previously went to Alaska, Hawaii)

About the interview

  • Introductory call with a member of the team
  • A take-home project that mirrors real work (no Leetcode, no trick puzzles). For senior engineers, a technical screen where you walk through one of your previous projects.
  • More casual conversation with our CTO - get to know one another better
  • On-site where you pair with engineers, meet cross-functional teammates, get to know our CEO, eat lunch, and get a feel for how we build together

If needed, we can move from first round interview to an offer in under a week
