About this role

Mintlify seeks an Applied AI Engineer to build end-to-end AI products for their documentation platform serving 100M+ developers. You'll design and ship customer-facing AI experiences including agents, tool use, and production infrastructure while collaborating with a small, high-impact team.

What you'll do

  • Design and ship customer-facing AI experiences including agent orchestration, tool use, and backend systems
  • Build reliable agent loops that reason over complex context, handle tool calls, and recover from failures
  • Create evaluation frameworks to measure agent performance and iterate on prompts, models, and product flows
  • Own production systems across frontend, backend, APIs, databases, and infrastructure
  • Drive complex projects from experimentation through production with minimal specification
  • Mentor engineers and share technical knowledge across the team

What they're looking for

  • Production language model systems (agents, tool use, retrieval, prompting, structured outputs)
  • Full-stack software development (frontend, backend, APIs, databases, infrastructure)
  • Agent design and orchestration
  • Evaluation and optimization of AI systems
  • Product intuition and user-focused thinking
  • Complex project leadership and ownership
  • Mentoring and knowledge sharing

Benefits

  • Work on technically ambitious products with a team valuing craft and thoughtful execution
  • High agency as a product builder with voice in strategic decisions
  • Plenty of heads-down builder time on a small, impactful team
  • Opportunity to directly shape product direction through customer insights
