Product Engineer

Job Description

**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**
===============================

* **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:

* **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

**Company Benefits:**
=====================

* Competitive compensation and equity

* 20 days paid time off every year

* 401k

* $420/month wellness stipend

* 100% coverage for Health, dental, vision
