Join us in our mission to empower builders.
The Role
Provide technical support for a developer-focused docs platform: respond to customer inquiries, debug issues in GitHub repos, MDX/Markdown files and deployment tools, resolve most tickets independently, improve internal tooling and processes, and collaborate with the support lead to scale support operations.

Why Mintlify?

We're on a mission to empower builders.

  • Massive reach: Our docs platform serves 100 million+ developers every year and powers documentation for 20,000+ companies, including Anthropic, Microsoft, PayPal, Spotify, Coinbase, X, and over 20% of the last YC batch.

  • Small team, huge impact: We recently passed 65 employees and raised a $45 million Series B led by A16Z and Salesforce Ventures. Each new hire has a huge impact on shaping the company's trajectory.

  • Culture of slope over y-intercept: We value learning velocity, grit, and unapologetically unique personalities.

We grew in value faster than headcount and we’re looking to align the two quickly.

What you'll work on here
  • Partnering with engineering to investigate, resolve, and ship fixes directly - your job isn't to escalate issues, it's to close them

  • Opening PRs in production codebases to patch bugs, address edge cases, and improve behavior at the source - because the best support ticket is one that never gets filed again

  • Building AI-powered agents, automations, and internal tooling that help the team resolve issues faster and stop them from recurring

  • Identifying patterns across support cases and translating them into clear, actionable signals for engineering and product

  • Responding to product and technical questions through our support inbox with speed, precision, and care

What you’ll bring to the table
  • Strong engineering foundation - CS degree or engineering experience, demonstrated through shipped projects and real GitHub activity

  • Some experience in a technical support or developer-facing role is a plus, but engineering chops come first; this role works for a strong new grad or someone with a few years under their belt

  • Has directly owned a customer relationship or support queue - not just contributed to one

  • Ability to diagnose and resolve technical issues end-to-end, independently

  • Exposure to AI tooling, automations, or LLM-based workflows - you've built something with them, not just used them

  • Exceptional written communication - your messages are friendly, precise, and professional; customers feel genuinely heard and helped, not just responded to

  • A builder mindset - you see a manual process and feel compelled to automate it; you'd rather spend an hour building something that saves ten than do the same task twice

Company Benefits:
  • Competitive compensation and equity

  • 20 days paid time off every year

  • 401k or RRSP

  • $420/mo. wellness stipend

  • 100% coverage for Health, dental, vision

  • Free Ubers to and from work

  • Free lunch and dinners

  • Annual team offsite (previously went to Alaska, Hawaii)

Skills Required

  • Experience in technical support at a software or developer tools company (or strong adjacent experience)
  • Comfortable navigating Git and GitHub
  • Familiarity with Retool and internal deployment tools
  • Experience with MDX/Markdown and IDEs
  • Ability to read and understand code, troubleshoot bugs and identify root causes
  • Strong written communication skills with a friendly, professional tone
  • Comfort using AI agents and improving their training data
  • Familiarity with OpenAPI specs
  • Past experience supporting APIs or documentation tools
  • Background working in fast-paced startups
