Full Job Description
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. You'll define how Mintlify builds enterprise-ready products and prove out the motion for serving the largest organizations in the world, with a direct and measurable line from your work to revenue.
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
  • Free Ubers to and from work
  • Free lunch and dinners
  • Annual team offsite (previously went to Alaska, Hawaii)
