Senior Platform Engineer

What You'll Work on Here

You’ll lead the development of the systems that run Mintlify, taking ambiguous platform problems from first principles to production.

• Own critical platform systems: Architect and operate the infrastructure, services, and tooling that Mintlify’s engineers and products depend on.
• Set the direction for developer velocity: Improve how the team builds, tests, deploys, and operates software, leading the migrations needed to get there.
• Scale the platform for what’s next: Evolve our compute, databases, queues, caching, and edge systems as our products and customer base grow.
• Drive operational excellence: Improve observability, incident response, and operational automation while eliminating sources of on-call toil.
• Raise the engineering bar: Review designs, establish technical standards, mentor engineers, and make the broader team more effective.

You’ll Have the Chance to Lead Projects Like

• Re-architecting the Mintlify backend to support new levels of updates and traffic.
• Supporting multi-cloud deployments across regional and customer-managed environments.
• Building AI-first developer tools and redesigning APIs for agent-driven traffic.

What You Bring to the Table

• You have at least 4 years of professional software development experience.
• Platform expertise: You have deep experience with cloud infrastructure, infrastructure as code, distributed systems, CI/CD, observability, and operating large-scale production software.
• You have led critical infrastructure projects from architecture through production.
• You make thoughtful tradeoffs across reliability, developer velocity, performance, security, and cost.
• You have strong product intuition and care about the developer experience created by the systems you build.
• You are comfortable working across infrastructure and application code to solve problems completely.
• You have experience mentoring engineers, sharing technical knowledge, and improving practices across a team.
• Plus: Experience with parts of our stack, including AWS, MongoDB, Postgres, Redis, and Node.js.

Why You Should Join Our Engineering Team
