Join us in our mission to empower developers worldwide
Mintlify's platform reaches 12m+ developers every year and power the documentation of 2000+ companies. We're also the #1 most popular YC product used by other YC companies in the past four years.
What's Mintlify?
The best companies have effective and user-centric documentation at their backbone. Mintlify helps any company achieve the documentation they need effortlessly, so that they can focus on building what they do best.
Our team has worked across transformative tech companies, gone through YC, and found some amazing investors from Bain Capital Ventures and the founders of Vercel, Sourcegraph, and other top developer tooling companies. We’re well capitalized and ready to put it to good use.
We're an in-person team in SF and hire for in-person, but we can always make exceptions for exceptional people :)
Our values
We’re a small team with big dreams - and the culture we create is just as important to us as the product we’re building.
📈 Growth oriented
Slope y intercept. We invest in people and growth as the company grows.
💚 Humility
Everyone has a lot to give and a lot to learn. Egos are not allowed.
🌟 Customer focused
We love our customers. We make decisions by focusing relentlessly on them - and accept if this means changing our ideas. Customer success is our success.
💡 Intellectual honesty
We believe in creating an environment where the best ideas win and acknowledging when we are wrong.
👾 Hack to success
We move fast and take big swings. We always aim for a solution that addresses 80% of the problem in 20% of the time. We make educated bets, launch MVPs, and iterate.
🔥 Having fun
Be unapologetically you! We love our game-nights, ping pong tournaments, bufo emojis, and cow jokes (the CEO knows over 100 of them and TechCrunch made fun of him for it).
