About The Position

We’re looking for product-minded engineers to build the AI experiences behind Mintlify. You’ll combine strong full-stack engineering with applied AI expertise to create agents that reliably solve real customer problems. As an Applied AI Engineer, you’ll take ownership of complex AI products from early experimentation through production. You’ll help define technical direction, establish how we evaluate and improve agent performance, and raise the quality of both our AI products and engineering practices.

Requirements

At least 4 years of professional software development experience
Deep experience building production systems with language models, including agent loops, tool use, retrieval, prompting, and structured outputs
Comfortable owning production software across frontend, backend, APIs, databases, and infrastructure
Led complex projects from experimentation through production and thrive when defining solutions rather than following a spec
Strong product intuition and care about the “why” as much as the “how” when building user-facing software
Eager to talk directly with customers and use those insights to shape what we build
Experience mentoring other engineers, sharing technical knowledge, and helping teammates grow

Responsibilities

Designing and shipping customer-facing AI experiences, from agent orchestration and tool use to the interfaces and backend systems that support them
Building agent loops that reason over complex context, call tools, recover from failures, and complete long-running tasks
Creating evals, analyze failures, and hill-climb on prompts, context, models, tools, and product flows
Building the APIs, data pipelines, interfaces, and production infrastructure needed to turn promising prototypes into polished products
