About the role

Senior Applied AI Engineer at Mintlify focused on building AI experiences behind Mintlify, combining full-stack engineering with applied AI to create reliable agent-based products and scale AI systems across the stack.

Responsibilities

  • Leading AI products end to end: Architecting and shipping customer-facing AI experiences, from agent orchestration and tool use to the interfaces and backend systems that support them
  • Building reliable agent systems: Developing agent loops that reason over complex context, call tools, recover from failures, and complete long-running tasks
  • Driving evaluation and iteration: Defining evals, build feedback loops, analyze failures, and systematically hill-climb on prompts, context, models, tools, and product flows
  • Turning prototypes into products: Making thoughtful decisions about architecture, latency, cost, observability, and user experience to operate AI systems reliably at scale
  • Shaping product direction and engineering approaches across the stack

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
