Role
Who you are
- 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
What the job involves
- 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
- As a Senior Applied AI Engineer, you’ll take ownership of complex AI products from early experimentation through production
- You’ll help define technical direction, establish how we evaluate and improve agent performance, and raise the quality of both our AI products and engineering practices
- Leading AI products end to end: Architecting and shipping customer-facing AI experiences, from agent orchestration and tool use to the interfaces and backend systems that support them
- Building reliable agent systems: Developing agent loops that reason over complex context, call tools, recover from failures, and complete long-running tasks
- Driving evaluation and iteration: Defining evals, build feedback loops, analyze failures, and systematically hill-climb on prompts, context, models, tools, and product flows
- Turning prototypes into products: Making thoughtful decisions about architecture, latency, cost, observability, and user experience to operate AI systems reliably at scale
- Shaping product direction and engineering approaches across the stack
- 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:
- How we built a virtual filesystem for our Assistant
- Introducing the collaborative editor built for teams and agents
- Docs URL Benchmark: Markdown & llms.txt > HTML
- 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
Our take
Software documentation has long been a challenge for developers, requiring significant time and effort to create and maintain. As companies like Stripe and Twilio set higher standards, the pressure on teams to produce clear, interactive documentation has increased, leaving many struggling to keep up with expectations.
Mintlify addresses this problem by offering a suite of documentation-authoring tools that simplify the creation process. The platform enables auto-generation of documents from codebases, features built-in templates, and incorporates AI-powered chatbots for enhanced user interaction.
With a growing customer base that includes prominent brands like Anthropic and Fidelity, and the recent closure of a successful funding round, Mintlify is poised for continued success. The company is further innovating its platform by personalising content and enhancing AI capabilities, positioning itself to meet the evolving needs of software documentation and support in the tech industry.
