Key skills for this role
This is a Pre-Sales technical role embedded in Mintlify's Sales Team. You are not a traditional Sales Engineer running canned demos - you are a builder who helps close complex enterprise deals by scoping, prototyping, and delivering custom technical solutions alongside Account Executives.
As enterprise customers evaluate Mintlify, they often require additional technical validation before moving forward. Your role is to reduce friction in this process by translating customer needs into practical technical solutions, building what’s necessary to demonstrate value, and supporting the sales team in closing larger, more complex deals without straining core engineering.
In this role, you will work closely with Sales, Engineering, Product, and the CEO to win our most strategic deals and turn one-off custom work into repeatable, productized capabilities.
This role is for someone who wants to roll up their sleeves and build.
We're on a mission to empower builders.
Massive reach: Our docs platform serves 100 million+ developers every year and powers documentation for 18,000+ companies, including Anthropic, Microsoft, PayPal, Spotify, Coinbase, X, and over 20% of the last YC batch.
Small team, huge impact: We’re under 50 people today, backed by $22 million in funding, each new hire shapes 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.
