Platform Engineer

About the role

We have temporarily paused hiring for this role. Please submit your CV to be considered when we re-open it in the future.

A World-Changing Company

Meticulous is radically accelerating the pace of software development. We've built the world's first fully autonomous and exhaustive testing platform for frontend codebases - a capability that has never existed before and that we believe is the missing piece in unlocking the full potential of code generation.

The demand has been immense. Companies like Dropbox, Wiz, and Notion often pay more for Meticulous than any other software product in their stack, and spontaneously refer us to others. Our team of eleven has achieved this by bringing together some of the most talented engineers from Uber, Google, Dropbox, GitHub, Meta, and Palantir.

THE ROLE

The First Platform Engineer

Meticulous replays thousands of recorded user sessions against every pull request. This requires infrastructure that is fast, reliable, and cost-efficient at scale.

As a Platform Engineer, you'll own the systems that make this possible. You'll design and build resilient infrastructure to support 10x growth, operate it in production, and shape our incident processes for when things break. This is not a maintenance role, you'll define how we build and operate as we scale.

You'll have significant autonomy. We're a small team, and you'll be the first dedicated platform engineer. That means you'll make real architectural decisions, not just execute on someone else's design.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

Your work will involve pioneering our approach to platform engineering, from infrastructure and security to developer experience:

- Architecting Resilient Infrastructure: Design, build, and scale the compute platform that powers Meticulous, managing our cloud infrastructure through Terraform with proper change management. Optimise infrastructure costs, balancing performance and spend as we scale.

- Own Production Reliability: Improve our monitoring, alerting, incident response, and on-call rotation to ensure that when systems encounter problems, we’re able to respond quickly and effectively to resolve incidents.

- Write Production Code Beyond Infrastructure: This role blends platform engineering with general software development work.

- Improve Developer Experience: Build internal tooling and automation that improves developer productivity and allows us to accelerate growth

- Build the playbook: As our first platform engineer, you’ll establish infrastructure standards and practices for a growing engineering team, maintaining security and compliance standards across our infrastructure.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Exceptional engineering skills: 3+ years of experience in a software development or platform engineering role.
