       Meticulous (YC S21) is hiring to eliminate UI testing
        
       Hey HN!  I'm Gabriel, CEO and co-founder of Meticulous.  Our
       mission is to radically accelerate the pace of software development
       for every company in the world. We're starting with a tool to catch
       UI bugs 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 head and base commits of PRs, take screenshots at key
       points, and diff those screenshots to catch visual regressions
       before they hit production. It catches logical and behavioral
       issues too. We employ novel techniques to eliminate flakes. You can
       watch a 60-second demo at
       [meticulous.ai](https://meticulous.ai/?utm_source=hn).  We are a
       London-based YC company. Our engineering team previously worked at
       Dropbox, Opendoor, Palantir and Google, and have previously led
       100+ engineer organizations at these companies. We 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 visual regressions is just the start. There is an entire
       category of products to build on top of replay. This ranges from
       catching exceptions 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 founding engineer to join our
       team of five. We sponsor visas.  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 senior level skill sets and 5+ years of
       industry experience. 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.  You can read about our values here https://ruby-
       wish-a8f.notion.site/Mission-Values-979c32ec58e...  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).  You'll get
       to work alongside some of the best engineers there are, break new
       ground solving truly novel CS problems and deliver something that
       transforms how software is built.  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.
