Meticulous (YC S21) is hiring to eliminate E2E UI tests
Hey HN! I'm Gabriel, CEO and co-founder of Meticulous,
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 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
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.
