Responsibilities

WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON HERE

• 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

About the Company

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 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.
