Meticulous (YC S21) is hiring a founding engineer

Dec 24, 2023 - news.ycombinator.com
Meticulous, a London-based YC company, is developing a tool to accelerate software development by catching UI bugs in web applications. The tool works by recording thousands of real user sessions, replaying these sessions on head and base commits of PRs, taking screenshots at key points, and diffing those screenshots to catch visual regressions before they hit production. The company, which has raised $4m and is backed by several Silicon Valley leaders, is also working on a range of products to build on top of replay, from catching exceptions to revealing the performance impact of frontend code.

The company is currently hiring a founding engineer to join their team of five in London and help build out a team of world-class software engineers. The ideal candidate should have senior level skill sets, 5+ years of industry experience, strong web fundamentals, and a deep love for software engineering. The new hire will be given the opportunity to up-level themselves as an engineer through conferences, reading, and mentorship from top engineering leaders.

Key takeaways:

  • Meticulous is a tool that helps catch UI bugs in web applications with zero-effort from developers by recording and replaying user sessions, taking screenshots at key points, and diffing those screenshots to catch visual regressions before they hit production.
  • The company is London-based and 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 others.
  • Meticulous is looking to hire a founding engineer for their London office, who will have the autonomy in building out the technology and shaping the company culture from the ground up.
  • Interested candidates should have senior level skill sets and 5+ years of industry experience, strong web fundamentals, a deep love for software engineering, value transparency and candid feedback, and have a strong desire to improve.
