Requirements

• Strong technical foundation. A degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field, with solid fundamentals in programming and systems. • High ownership and motivation. You’re comfortable taking responsibility, figuring things out, and moving projects forward even when things are ambiguous. • Entrepreneurial spirit. You’ve spent time building things outside of structured coursework such as working on a startup, founding or contributing to an open-source projects, or shipping personal projects end-to-end. • Clear communicator. You can explain technical ideas clearly, ask good questions, and enjoy working directly with other engineers. • Willingness to travel. Around 25% travel to customer sites, primarily in the US. • What You’ll Gain • Learn by building a new function. You’ll be part of shaping an entirely new role at Meticulous, with clear opportunities to grow in responsibility and influence as the team expands. • Exceptional growth and mentorship. We intentionally keep the team small and highly experienced. You’ll work closely with engineers who have led large teams and built complex systems at top technology companies. The environment is fast-paced, collaborative, and focused on learning quickly from each other. Beyond core engineering growth, you’ll spend significant time working with engineering leaders at fast-growing startups and established tech companies. This gives you exposure to a wide range of technologies, architectures, workflows, and engineering cultures - experience that normally takes many years and multiple jobs to accumulate. • Expand your network. Our investors and advisors include leaders from Vercel, GitHub, Segment, YC, Adobe, and Dropbox. Through the role, you’ll also work directly with engineering teams across many top technology companies, building relationships early in your career that can compound for years. • Solve novel technical problems. You’ll work on challenging problems at the intersection of browser technology, testing infrastructure, and large-scale systems - areas that few engineers encounter early in their careers. • World-class compensation. Base salary £80k–£140k plus significant equity, competitive with top technology companies and startups. • Life at Meticulous • We believe autonomous testing will eventually enable the automation of much of software development. You’ll be working at the forefront of this shift, alongside the companies that are adopting these tools first. • This role is on-site at our office in Moorgate. We’ve found that the level of collaboration, learning, and iteration required to succeed works best when the team is together in person.

Responsibilities

• This role spans both engineering and customer success. You’ll take ownership of customer deployments and do what’s needed to make Meticulous successful for them, including: • Work with customers to deploy Meticulous at scale. Partner with customer engineering teams to understand their architecture, design implementation approaches that fit their systems, and work alongside them to ship reliable solutions. • Improve the product based on real-world usage. Debug issues that block deployments, investigate problems that reach into core parts of the system, and help ship improvements or features that make the product work better for both the customer you’re focused on and Meticulous overall. • Build strong customer relationships. Communicate regularly with engineers and engineering leaders, help guide rollouts, and collect feedback to ensure customers are successful and supported. • Influence product direction. Use what you learn from working with customers to help inform what we build next. For smaller improvements, you’ll often implement them directly; for larger changes, you’ll work closely with the core engineering team to scope and deliver them. • Help define best practices. As the Forward Deployed Engineering function grows, you’ll contribute to documentation, tooling, and processes that make each new deployment smoother than the last.

Benefits

• Support from experienced engineers on the team for guidance and knowledge sharing. • Real ownership and responsibility early in the role with opportunities to shape company practices. • Influence product direction based on real-world usage feedback directly impacting future developments of Meticulous platform.
