Meticulous (YC S21) is hiring to eliminate UI end-to-end tests
Hey HN! I'm Gabriel, CEO and co-founder of
[meticulous.ai](https://meticulous.ai/?utm_source=hn). Meticulous
is a tool which creates and maintains a suite of e2e tests that
exhaustively covers your web application - without any developer
intervention whatsoever. We've also eliminated flaky tests
(really!). No flakes. The tech behind this is fascinating.
Meticulous passively records sessions and uses these to generate a
comprehensive test suite. Our customers love the product and rely
on [meticulous.ai](https://meticulous.ai/?utm_source=hn) as the
sole system for testing their frontend. Here's what they say:
"Once you start using Meticulous, you won't want to stop. It
provides confidence without the effort of writing and maintaining
tests. I love the tight feedback loop of seeing a visual
confirmation of my changes, and any unwanted side effects." - Joel,
engineer at Patchwork Health "Meticulous eliminated the need to
write and maintain frontend tests across my engineering
organization. One of the most exciting DevTools on the market
today." - Seth, CTO at Courier We trust Meticulous to be the sole
front-end testing system for our app. It has caught countless UI
bugs and regressions without us having to write a single test. This
coverage saves us time and gives us confidence to move quickly." -
Nick, engineer at WithPower How does Meticulous tool work? 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 regressions before they hit production. It
catches logical, behavioral and visual issues. We employ novel
techniques to eliminate flakes. You can watch a 60-second demo at
[meticulous.ai](https://meticulous.ai/?utm_source=hn). What's our
team like? We are a London-based YC company. Our engineering team
previously worked at Dropbox, Opendoor, Palantir, GitHub and
Google, and have previously led 100+ engineer organizations at
these companies. We 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 six. 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.
