Meticulous (YC S21) is hiring to eliminate UI tests

Mar 17, 2024 - news.ycombinator.com
Meticulous, a London-based YC company, offers a tool that creates and maintains a suite of end-to-end tests for web applications without requiring developer intervention. The tool passively records sessions and uses these to generate a comprehensive test suite, eliminating the need for developers to write and maintain tests. It also eliminates flaky tests, providing a reliable system for front-end testing. The technology behind Meticulous involves 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 regressions before they hit production.

The company is currently looking to hire a founding engineer for their London office. 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 founding engineer will have the opportunity to shape the company, build the culture and technology from the ground up, and work on problems such as building a distributed system to concurrently replay thousands of sessions and speeding up the replay of sessions in a way that retains determinism.
