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. Backed by YC, Coatue, the
CTO of GitHub, CEO of Vercel, CPO of Adobe and others,
https://meticulous.ai?utm_source=hn monitors how developers
interact with your app and automatically generates and maintains
test coverage nearing 100%. Even for the most complex applications.
All without needing to write or maintain a single test. Our
customers find it increases their end-to-end frontend development
velocity by over 20%. If you've ever had the rare chance of working
on a project where you can have near 100% confidence in your
changes before you hit merge you'll understand this immediately:
programming feels completely different in that environment. Every
dev can refactor with complete confidence and speed. And so they
do, keeping the code fresh & nimble. Our customers's developers
have been able to move faster than they've often ever experienced
before. We're growing rapidly, and want to provide this experience
to every software company in the world -- while freeing them of the
burden of writing or maintaining tests. We've built a team of
exclusively world-class software engineers ("One of the strongest
teams that I have seen" - Jared Friedman, Partner at Y Combinator).
If you join us we'll promise you'll learn faster than you ever have
in your career, and will be able to fundamentally change how the
world develops software. ## How does Meticulous work? You add a
script tag on localhost and internal stacks, and Meticulous records
all the development teams daily interactions with the app as they
develop features. Meticulous understands every line of code,
component and route executed by each flow and uses this to maintain
a visual snapshot test suite that covers close to 100% of your
code. This suite tests your apps UI, user flows and logic at all
layers, across all edge cases, all branches, all feature flags. As
your app evolves, your test suite evolves. The tests are executed
in an environment that ensures full determinism from the lowest
level, right down to how the browsers' macro & micro-tasks are
scheduled -- so no flakes. This bedrock of determinism is what
makes the full system possible. 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.
