Software Engineer

About the Role

MintMCP is building the infrastructure that makes a company's work runnable by agents, starting with trust. Our first product is an MCP gateway that provides governed access to company data and tools for agents. We are expanding the agent stack with connectors, monitoring, sandboxing, long-running agents, and memory, with the goal of becoming the system a company's work runs on. The role involves owning features end to end, from conception to production, across gateway infrastructure, enterprise deployments, and agentic systems. The work leans backend and infra, but spans the full stack.

• Shape problems, make architecture, product, and UX calls.
• Harden enterprise paths.
• Design connectors.
• Protect security-sensitive surfaces.
• Catch generated code that is not correct.
• Ship within hours.
• Learn directly from founders and customers.

Work Environment
