Mintlify's platform reaches 20m+ developers every year and power the documentation of 5000+ companies including Anthropic, Scale AI, Cursor, X, Perplexity, Zapier, and over 20% of the last YC batch.
The founding software engineer will work closely with the CEO and CTO to develop the core product offering.
The nature of this work will change in a fast-moving environment but typically involves a combination of (depending on your background):
Working with AI/LLMs: Improving the performance of our Retrieval Augmented Generation platform by experimenting with foundational LLMs and novel cognitive architectures and retrieval techniques. Help define industry standards for how to leverage generative AI in enterprise settings.
Working on our data platform: Making improvements to our data platform to ingest, transform, and embed customer data for use in generative AI applications. Optimizing the data infrastructure’s performance and scalability to ensure reliable and timely data integration.
We’re a small team with big dreams - and the culture we create is just as important to us as the product we’re building.
📈 Growth oriented
Slope y intercept. We invest in people and growth as the company grows.
💚 Humility
Everyone has a lot to give and a lot to learn. Egos are not allowed.
🌟 Customer focused
We love our customers. We make decisions by focusing relentlessly on them - and accept if this means changing our ideas. Customer success is our success.
💡 Intellectual honesty
We believe in creating an environment where the best ideas win and acknowledging when we are wrong.
👾 Hack to success
We move fast and take big swings. We always aim for a solution that addresses 80% of the problem in 20% of the time. We make educated bets, launch MVPs, and iterate.
🔥 Having fun
Be unapologetically you! We love our game-nights, ping pong tournaments, bufo emojis, and cow jokes (the CEO knows over 100 of them and TechCrunch made fun of him for it).
