Software Engineer

MintMCP is an AI-native startup focused on enabling companies to safely put agents to work. Their first product is an MCP gateway that provides governed access to company data and tools for agents, ensuring security through scoped permissions and detailed audit logs. The company is expanding its agent stack to include connectors, monitoring, sandboxing, long-running agents, and memory, aiming to become the core operating system for a company's work. The team operates in person in the San Francisco Bay Area with a flat structure, offering significant autonomy. Employees leverage AI tools like Claude and Codex daily, with agents actively participating in coding, code reviews, and operational tasks. Since launching in February 2026, MintMCP has acquired over 50 paying customers, including Coursera, Arlo, and Braze, and is backed by prominent investors and industry leaders. The Software Engineer role involves end-to-end feature ownership across gateway infrastructure, enterprise deployments, and agentic systems. While the role leans towards backend and infrastructure, engineers are expected to contribute across the stack, including UI development and connector maintenance. The primary working environment involves AI tools and agents, with a focus on judgment, architecture, product decisions, and ensuring the quality of AI-generated code. The company emphasizes rapid shipping, direct learning from founders and customers, and offers roles across various experience levels, prioritizing judgment, range, and shipping speed.
