We grew in value faster than headcount and we’re looking to align the two quickly
We’re looking for product-minded backend engineers to build the core systems behind Mintlify. You’ll tackle hard problems across content processing, AI retrieval, and infrastructure that powers thousands of documentation sites
As a Senior Backend Engineer, you’ll build the APIs, content pipelines, and AI infrastructure that power Mintlify’s products. You’ll collaborate across design and engineering, contribute to product and technical decisions, and take features from development through launch
Building backend systems end to end: Designing, implementing, and ship the APIs and services behind our editor, dashboard, and customer documentation sites
Scaling our content infrastructure: Improve how we ingest, validate, transform, and publish content from thousands of customer repositories
Powering AI experiences: Building the search, retrieval, and agent infrastructure behind our AI products
Performance and reliability: Improving caching, queues, databases, and observability as our products and customer base grow
Shaping product direction and engineering approaches across the stack
You’ll solve technically ambitious backend problems alongside a team that values craft, speed, and thoughtful execution
Engineers here are product builders with high agency; you’ll drive change and have a voice in strategic decisions
You’ll have plenty of heads-down builder time on a small-but-mighty team where the best ideas win
We’ll find the intersection between what excites you and business priorities. You’ll own projects, ship, and see immediate impact
