About the role

Applied AI Engineer at Mintlify focused on building AI experiences and production-ready agent-driven systems, spanning frontend to infrastructure, with emphasis on end-to-end AI products, agent loops, and evaluation.

Responsibilities

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

Qualifications

  • You have at least 4 years of professional software development experience
  • You possess deep experience building production systems with language models, including agent loops, tool use, retrieval, prompting, and structured outputs
  • You are comfortable owning production software across frontend, backend, APIs, databases, and infrastructure
  • You have led complex projects from experimentation through production and thrive when defining solutions rather than following a spec
  • You have strong product intuition and care about the “why” as much as the “how” when building user-facing software
  • You’re eager to talk directly with customers and use those insights to shape what we build
  • You have experience mentoring other engineers, sharing technical knowledge, and helping teammates grow
