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.

What you'll work on here

• Serving as the dedicated technical owner for one or more of our largest enterprise customers after the contract has been signed

• Shipping code, reliable software, and systems that carry production traffic from day one

• Pioneering the patterns for deploying Mintlify inside organizations with 100,000+ employees

• Scoping ambiguous customer asks into shippable plans, and saying no when the ask would fork the product

• Designing and deliver self-hosted and VPC deployments, SSO (SAML/OIDC), and least-privilege access architectures

• Building enterprise-specific integrations with customer systems as they exist today, finding the least invasive path rather than demanding a rebuild

• Debugging production issues across the full stack and own them to resolution

• Productizing the patterns you see across deployments: self-hosting packages, runbooks, integration templates

• Feeding field knowledge back into the core product so we never solve the same problem twice

What you bring to the table

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with real production ownership (you've been paged, you've done the postmortem), focused on backend work

• Direct customer-facing experience: you've sat across from a customer, explained a technical limitation, and kept their trust

• Comfort with enterprise deployment realities: cloud infrastructure, networking, SSO, compliance-conscious environments

• Strong written and verbal communication: you can brief an executive and pair with their platform team in the same afternoon

• Bonus points: Previous founding experience. Experience in an FDE, solutions architecture, or professional services motion.

Why you should join our Enterprise Solutions Team

The Enterprise Solutions team is new and this is a founding seat. We operate as a mini-startup inside each large enterprise deployment with full ownership and direct contact with the customer.
