Afrigather Hey HN!
I am Gabriel, CEO and co-founder of Meticulous.
Our mission is to radically speed up the tempo of software program growth for each firm on the planet. We’re beginning with a instrument to catch UI bugs in internet purposes with zero-effort from builders.
The way it works: Insert a single line of JavaScript onto your web site, and we report hundreds of actual consumer periods. We then replay these periods on head and base commits of PRs, take screenshots at key factors, and diff these screenshots to catch visible regressions earlier than they hit manufacturing. It catches logical and behavioral points too. We make use of novel methods to remove flakes. You may watch a 60-second demo at [meticulous.ai](https://meticulous.ai/?utm_source=hn).
We’re a London-based YC firm. Our engineering group beforehand labored at Dropbox, Opendoor, Palantir and Google, and have beforehand led 100+ engineer organizations at these firms. We raised $4m and are backed by a few of the finest founders and technical leaders in Silicon Valley, together with Guillermo Rauch (founder Vercel, creator subsequent.js), Jason Warner (CTO GitHub), Scott Belsky (CPO Adobe), Calvin French-Owen (founder Phase), Jared Friedman (YC companion and former CTO of Scribd) and a bunch of different unbelievable of us.
Catching visible regressions is simply the beginning. There may be a whole class of merchandise to construct on prime of replay. This ranges from catching exceptions to revealing the efficiency affect of frontend code.
We wish to change the best way the world develops software program, and affect software program approaches for many years to return.
We’re seeding a London workplace and hiring an onsite founding engineer to hitch our group of 5. We sponsor visas.
You’ll have autonomy in constructing out this know-how, however listed below are a couple of issues you would possibly work on:
– Construct a distributed system to concurrently replay hundreds of periods, such {that a} developer will get a lead to seconds.
– Pace up the replay of periods in a manner that retains determinism.
– Derive algorithms to detect periods that cowl differing code paths and edge instances, and ignore periods which can be too comparable.
– Assist construct out a group of world-class, extremely collaborative, software program engineers.
As founding engineer, you get to form the corporate, and construct the tradition and know-how from the bottom up.
What we search for:
In a sentence: Technically sensible, pleasant to work with, mixed with a self-awareness and powerful need to enhance. We additionally wish to make sure that everybody is extremely supportive of one another; we win as a group.
We’re presently solely seeking to deliver on of us with senior degree talent units and 5+ years of trade expertise. It is best to have sturdy internet fundamentals and a deep love for software program engineering. Possibly you take pleasure in programming books like Clear Code, Designing Information Intensive Purposes, Pragmatic Programmer and so on. or take pleasure in hacking on fascinating facet initiatives. You worth transparency and candid suggestions, and are motivated by a robust need to turn out to be the very best engineer you may be.
You may examine our values right here https://ruby-wish-a8f.notion.site/Mission-Values-979c32ec58e…
You can be given the house and time to up-level your self as an engineer when it comes to conferences, studying, or no matter you suppose will likely be Most worthy. We may even set you up with mentorship, in the event you need it, from prime engineering leaders (of us working 100-engineer organizations on the world’s main tech firms).
You’ll get to work alongside a few of the finest engineers there are, break new floor fixing really novel CS issues and ship one thing that transforms how software program is constructed.
If this sounds fascinating, please attain out to me at gabe [at] meticulous [dot] ai with “HN” within the topic line and 2-3 sentences about what you discover fascinating about Meticulous and your resume/LinkedIn/GitHub.
