Platform for building interactive public docs
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.
Partner directly with the founders. We are looking for a strategic thought partner who can challenge thinking, help shape company and product strategy, translate that vision into engineering priorities, and take real ownership of the decisions required to scale the business.
Build a world class engineering organization. Demand is outpacing Mintlify’s current engineering capacity, making talent and execution one of the biggest constraints on growth. Scale the team, attract exceptional talent, and build the organization needed to capitalize on the demand already in front of the company.
Turn product innovation into Mintlify’s next phase of growth. Help develop and launch major new product lines as the company expands beyond its core documentation platform, enabling multiple product bets to run in parallel without sacrificing speed, quality, or reliability.
Own engineering execution and the technical foundation. Set priorities across product, platform, and infrastructure, improve engineering velocity and reliability, and ensure the organization can support Mintlify’s rapidly growing scale and enterprise customer base.
Proven scaling experience. Has scaled an engineering organization from roughly 10 to 50 engineers at an early stage company and understands the challenges that come with rapid growth.
Deep technical credibility. A hands on engineering leader with strong experience across modern backend systems, cloud infrastructure, platform architecture, and systems at scale.
An exceptional talent builder. Has a track record of identifying, recruiting, developing, and retaining high caliber engineers and views recruiting as a core part of the job.
Strong product and business judgment. Has owned a product line end to end and understands how engineering decisions connect to customer needs, product outcomes, and company growth.
A first principles, high agency leader. Low ego, comfortable with ambiguity, willing to give direct feedback, and thoughtful about designing the right processes and operating rhythms for the company’s current stage rather than importing a playbook from somewhere else.

Mintlify builds a platform for creating and maintaining engaging, public-facing documentation for businesses. It provides an easy-to-use editor, hosting, and an AI-powered chat feature (GPT-4) that answers questions using the client’s APIs, making the docs interactive and capable of converting readers into customers. The editing workflow is integrated into the client’s environment, enabling seamless updates, while built-in analytics show what users view and where they convert, helping identify sales prospects. The platform differentiates itself by tightly integrating API-driven, interactive documentation with a seamless workflow and analytics focus, aimed at driving user engagement and conversions. The company’s goal is to help businesses turn documentation into a customer acquisition and onboarding tool through accessible, engaging content and data-driven insights.
