You’ll be working closely with us (co-founders Joseph + Wilbur) on the engineering team and you’ll have significant ownership over the parts of the product you want to cover. As an early engineer, you will be all over the codebase, from spinning up infra to placing pixels on the frontend.

Ideally you

  • Love to work with new technologies and are excited about solving challenging and unfamiliar technical problems

  • AWS for cloud infrastructure
  • Python on the backend - Celery for task management
  • React (Typescript) for the frontend
  • Lots of LLM-related stuff that we can chat about

Some of the aspects of building at Meticulate that we love and hopefully excite you too:

  • Tackling problems that could never done before LLMs
  • Re-imagining UI/UX for the company intelligence space with new product capabilities
  • Using limited model intelligence & context to automate highly complex tasks
Interview Process

We have a few interviews, including a design interview, and then a few-day long work trial period.

We want to be respectful of your time and are very flexible to your scheduling needs.
