Meticulous (YC S21) is hiring a founding engineer in London
Hey HN, I'm Gabriel, founder of Meticulous. Our mission is to make
the world's code safe, performant and reliable. We're starting with
a tool to catch JavaScript regressions in web applications with
zero-effort from developers. How it works: Insert a single line of
JavaScript onto your site, and we record thousands of real user
sessions. We then replay these sessions on new code to
automatically catch bugs before they hit production. You can watch
a 60-second demo at meticulous.ai. We are a London-based YC
company. Our engineering team previously worked at Dropbox,
Opendoor and Google. We just raised $4m, and are backed by some of
the best founders and technical leaders in Silicon Valley,
including Guillermo Rauch (founder Vercel, author next.js), Jason
Warner (CTO GitHub), Scott Belsky (CPO Adobe), Calvin French-Owen
(founder Segment), Jared Friedman (YC partner and former CTO of
Scribd) and a bunch of other incredible folks. Catching JavaScript
regressions is just the start. There is an entire category of
products to build on top of replay. This ranges from automatic UI
previews to revealing the performance impact of frontend code. We
want to change the way the world develops software, and influence
software approaches for decades to come. We are seeding a London
office and hiring an onsite (a few days per week) founding engineer
to join our team of two. You will have autonomy in building out
this technology, but here are a few problems you might work on: -
Build a distributed system to concurrently replay thousands of
sessions, such that a developer gets a result in seconds. - Speed
up the replay of sessions in a way that retains determinism. -
Derive algorithms to detect sessions that cover differing code
paths and edge cases, and ignore sessions that are too similar. -
Help build out a team of world-class, highly collaborative,
software engineers. As founding engineer, you get to shape the
company, and build the culture and technology from the ground up.
What we look for: In a sentence: Technically brilliant, delightful
to work with, combined with a self-awareness and strong desire to
improve. We also want to make sure everyone is highly supportive of
each other; we win as a team. We're currently only looking to
bring on folks with mid-to-senior level skill sets. You should have
strong web fundamentals and a deep love for software engineering.
Maybe you enjoy programming books like Clean Code, Designing Data
Intensive Applications, Pragmatic Programmer etc. or enjoy hacking
on interesting side projects. You value transparency and candid
feedback, and are motivated by a strong desire to become the best
engineer you can be. What you get: Compensation: We pay
PS100k-PS160k+ in base salary, along with top of line benefits and
perks. The equity grant will be between 0.5% and 3% (a 2% grant is
$600k at last valuation) with employee-friendly terms (10 year
exercise window on options). You can read about our values here
https://sumptuous-lungfish-609.notion.site/Meticulous-values...
Learning: You will be given the space and time to up-level yourself
as an engineer in terms of conferences, reading, or whatever you
think will be most valuable. We will also set you up with
mentorship, if you desire it, from top engineering leaders (folks
running 100-engineer organizations at the world's leading tech
companies). If this sounds interesting, please reach out to me at
gabe [at] meticulous [dot] ai with "HN" in the subject line and 2-3
sentences about what you find interesting about Meticulous and your
resume/LinkedIn/GitHub.
