Applied AI Engineer

• 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 https://mattrickard.com/hire-slope-not-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 engineers to build the AI experiences behind Mintlify. You’ll combine strong full-stack engineering with applied AI expertise to create agents that reliably solve real customer problems.
• Building AI products end to end: Designing and shipping customer-facing AI experiences, from agent orchestration and tool use to the interfaces and backend systems that support them
• Developing reliable agents: Building agent loops that reason over complex context, call tools, recover from failures, and complete long-running tasks
• Evaluating and improving performance: Creating evals, analyze failures, and hill-climb on prompts, context, models, tools, and product flows
• Shipping across the stack: Building the APIs, data pipelines, interfaces, and production infrastructure needed to turn promising prototypes into polished products
• You have at least 4 years of professional software development experience
• You possess deep experience building production systems with language models, including agent loops, tool use, retrieval, prompting, and structured outputs
• You are comfortable owning production software across frontend, backend, APIs, databases, and infrastructure
• You have led complex projects from experimentation through production and thrive when defining solutions rather than following a spec
• You have strong product intuition and care about the “why” as much as the “how” when building user-facing software
• You’re eager to talk directly with customers and use those insights to shape what we build
• You have experience mentoring other engineers, sharing technical knowledge, and helping teammates grow
• 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:
• Introducing the collaborative editor built for teams and agents https://www.mintlify.com/blog/editor

• You’ll have plenty of heads-down builder time on a small-but-mighty team where the best ideas win
