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 65 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.

We’re looking for product-minded builders to create essential, customer-facing features. You should have a notable technical "spike," whether that’s crafting sophisticated React interfaces or architecting robust backend infrastructure.

As a Product Engineer, you’ll build polished experiences that solve real customer problems. You’ll collaborate across design and engineering, contribute to product and technical decisions, and take features from development through launch.
 
# What you'll work on here

- Building the full lifecycle: Partnering with design and engineering to architect and ship customer-facing functionality from the ground up
- Solving complex technical challenges: You’ll tackle difficult problems, from optimizing virtualized rendering to architecting reliable content management system
- Driving user experience: Contributing to a frictionless UX, handling the last-mile refinements that transform working code into a great product
- Performance and scale: Enhancing application speed through profiling and build scalable solutions that evolve with our growing user base
- Shaping product direction and engineering approaches across the stack

What you bring to the table

- 4+ years of software development experience
- A technical “spike”: You have strong experience in either:

Frontend: React, Next.js, and TypeScript, including component architecture, state management, and rendering performance
- Backend: Systems design, API architecture, and database optimization

- You have strong product intuition and care about the "why" as much as the "how" when building user-facing software
- You are adaptable and willing to jump into new territory across the stack to ship a feature
- You appreciate a high degree of ownership and thrive when defining solutions rather than following a spec
- You’re eager to talk directly with customers and use those insights to shape what we build

Why you should join our engineering team

- You’ll solve technically ambitious product problems alongside a team that values craft, speed, and thoughtful execution. Here’s a taste of what the team has built:
