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 50 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

You'll own the accounting and financial reporting foundation that helps Mintlify scale from its current stage toward $50M+ ARR. This role sits at the center of our finance function, bridging our outsourced accounting partner, operational finance processes, and executive-level planning and reporting.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Owning month-end close end-to-end and ensuring accurate, timely financial reporting

  • Managing payroll, sales commissions, bill payments, expense reviews, and approval workflows

  • Leading accounts receivable, collections, and DSO improvement across Mintlify and Helicone

  • Overseeing revenue recognition and billing reconciliation across usage-based, credit-based, and multi-year contracts

  • Owning federal and state tax compliance, filings, and the implementation of compliance tooling

  • Managing standalone financial reporting, intercompany accounting, and billing infrastructure for Helicone

  • Building internal controls, improving accounting processes, and preparing the business for future audit readiness

  • Producing reliable metrics and reporting that leadership, investors, and the board can trust

Success in this role means creating a finance function that operates accurately, efficiently, and independently while enabling the company to scale confidently.

What you’ll bring to the table
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting, controllership, or finance experience within SaaS or technology companies

  • Deep expertise in full-cycle accounting, month-end close ownership, financial reporting, and GAAP

  • Strong understanding of SaaS revenue recognition, including usage-based billing, credits, overages, and recurring revenue models

  • Experience managing accounts receivable, collections, cash flow reporting, and operational finance processes

  • Familiarity with SaaS metrics such as ARR, NRR, GRR, run-rate revenue, and DSO

  • Proven ability to manage external accounting partners while maintaining ownership and accountability for outcomes

  • Experience building and scaling finance processes in fast-growing environments

We're looking for someone with exceptional ownership and agency. You'll be responsible for a broad set of functions that today sit with our COO, so the ability to independently prioritize, identify issues early, and drive execution without heavy direction is critical. You should be equally comfortable reconciling complex billing data, improving controls, partnering with stakeholders across the business, and rolling up your sleeves when needed.

Why you should join our team

This is an opportunity to build the finance foundation of a rapidly growing company at a pivotal stage of scale.

You'll take ownership of a high-impact function that directly influences how leadership, investors, and the board understand the business. Your work will create the systems, controls, and reporting infrastructure that enable Mintlify to grow efficiently and confidently toward the next stage of its journey.

You'll have significant autonomy, broad exposure across the company, and the opportunity to shape how finance operates from the ground up. Rather than inheriting a large team and established playbook, you'll help design the processes, controls, and operating rhythms that support the next phase of growth.

If you enjoy solving complex operational challenges, building systems from first principles, and taking ownership of outcomes that matter across the entire organization, you'll have an outsized impact here.

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)
