# Job Description
We are looking for product-minded engineers who want to build critical, user-facing features. We don’t expect you to be an expert in everything. Instead, we are looking for candidates with a **distinct "spike" in technical depth** —whether that is crafting complex React UIs or architecting scalable backend systems.
We have a stage in our interview process built-in for you to showcase your strengths. If you are already fullstack, a backend wizard who wants to get closer to the user, or a frontend architect ready to own full features, we want to hear from you.
## **What you'll work on**
You won’t just be picking up tickets; you will have the agency to shape product direction and engineering approaches across the stack.
- **Build the full lifecycle:** Collaborate closely with design and engineering to architect and ship customer-facing functionality from 0-to-1.
- **Solve complex technical challenges:** Whether it’s optimizing virtualized rendering for large data collections or architecting reliable content management systems, you will tackle hard engineering problems.
- **Drive User Experience:** Contribute to a smooth, delightful UX. You will help bridge the gap between "working code" and a "great product."
- **Performance & Scale:** Improve application performance through profiling and implement scalable solutions that grow with our user base.
## **What you bring to the table**
- **4+ years of software development experience.**
- **A Technical "Spike":** You have deep, Senior/Staff level expertise in **EITHER** :
- **Product Intuition:** You have a desire to work on front-facing products that users interact with daily. You care about the "why" as much as the "how."
- **Adaptability:** You are willing to step outside your comfort zone. If you are backend-heavy, you are willing to touch the frontend (and vice versa) to get a feature over the line.
- **Agency & Ownership:** You thrive in environments where you define the solution rather than just implementing a spec.
## **Why you should join our engineering team**
- **Flexible Interview Process:** We want to see you at your best. We have a built in "showcase" stage in our interview loop to focus on your specific area of expertise.
- **High Agency:** Engineers at Mintlify aren't code monkeys; they are product builders. You will drive change and have a voice in strategic decisions.
- **Heads-down Builder Time:** We protect your focus. We believe in small, mighty teams where the best ideas win, regardless of title.
- **Growth & Impact:** We find the intersection between what excites you and business priorities. You’ll own projects, ship constantly, and see users benefit from your work immediately.
# **Company Benefits:**
- Competitive compensation and equity
- 20 days paid time off every year
- 401k or RRSP
- $420/mo. wellness stipend
- 100% coverage for Health, dental, vision
