Meticulous (YC S21) Is Hiring #2 Founding Engineer in London

Hey HN, I’m Gabriel, founder of Meticulous.

Our mission is to make the world’s code safe, performant and reliable. We’re starting with a tool to catch JavaScript regressions in web applications with zero-effort from developers.

How it works: Insert a single line of JavaScript onto your site, and we record thousands of real user sessions. We then replay these sessions on new code to automatically catch bugs before they hit production. You can watch a 60-second demo at meticulous.ai.

We are a London-based YC company. Our team previously worked at Dropbox, Opendoor and Google. We just raised $4m, and are 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 a bunch of other incredible folks.

Catching JavaScript regressions is just the start. There is an entire category of products to build on top of replay. This ranges from automatic UI previews to revealing the performance impact of frontend code.

We want to change the way the world develops software, and influence software approaches for decades to come.

We are seeding a London office and hiring an onsite (a few days per week) founding engineer to join our team of two.

You will have autonomy in building out this technology, but here are a few problems you might work on:

– Build a distributed system to concurrently replay thousands of sessions, such that a developer gets a result in seconds.

– Speed up the replay of sessions in a way that retains determinism.

– Derive algorithms to detect sessions that cover differing code paths and edge cases, and ignore sessions that are too similar.

– Help build out a team of world-class, highly collaborative, software engineers.

As founding engineer, you get to shape the company, and build the culture and technology from the ground up.

What we look for:

In a sentence: Technically brilliant, delightful to work with, combined with a self-awareness and strong desire to improve. We also want to make sure everyone is highly supportive of each other; we win as a team.

We’re currently only looking to bring on folks with mid-to-senior level skill sets. You should have strong web fundamentals and a deep love for software engineering. Maybe you enjoy programming books like Clean Code, Designing Data Intensive Applications, Pragmatic Programmer etc. or enjoy hacking on interesting side projects. You value transparency and candid feedback, and are motivated by a strong desire to become the best engineer you can be.

What you get:

Compensation: We want outrageously talented individuals. This means we offer commensurately outrageous equity grants. The equity grant will be 2% or greater (a 2% grant is $600k at last valuation) with employee-friendly terms (10 year exercise window on options). We pay £100k-£150k in base salary, along with top of line benefits and perks. You can read about our values here https://sumptuous-lungfish-609.notion.site/Meticulous-values…

Learning: You will be given the space and time to up-level yourself as an engineer in terms of conferences, reading, or whatever you think will be most valuable. We will also set you up with mentorship, if you desire it, from top engineering leaders (folks running 100-engineer organizations at the world’s leading tech companies).

If this sounds interesting, please reach out to me at gabe [at] meticulous [dot] ai with “HN” in the subject line and 2-3 sentences about what you find interesting about Meticulous and your resume/LinkedIn/GitHub.

Get a Credit Card Statement Credit with These 4 Dynamite Business Credit Cards

Did You Know There Are Credit Cards Where You Can Get a Credit Card Statement Credit?

What is a statement on a credit card? A credit card statement credit—often in the form of a signup bonus—is a popular way for business credit cards to give you perks. It’s a great win-win. For the credit card company, it’s a bookkeeping matter. They don’t have to issue a check and they don’t have to keep track of points. For you, it’s money off your credit card statement balance. And who doesn’t want that?

Keep in mind: all business credit card terms can and do change. As a result, be sure to check the credit issuer’s website before choosing a business credit card. Check out our top choices.

#4. Get a $150 Credit Card Statement Credit from the Marriott Bonvoy Business™ Card

With the Marriot Bonvoy Business™ Card, you can earn up to $150 back in statement credits on eligible purchases made in the first 3 months. You can also earn sextuple points on eligible purchases at hotels participating in the Marriott Bonvoy program.

APR on purchases will be a variable rate, 15.74%—24.74%, based on creditworthiness. There is a $125 annual fee.

#3. Get a $150 Statement Credit in the form of 2% Cash Back with a Cash Back Bonus: TD Business Solutions Credit Card (Visa)

With the TD Business Solutions Credit Card, you can earn $150 cash back as a statement credit when you spend $1,000 in the first 90 days. Earn up to 2% cash back rewards when you redeem them into an eligible TD Bank Deposit Account. Get 1% cash back on purchases. There are no cash back limits. A 13.99%, 18.99% or 23.99% APR is based on creditworthiness for purchases and credit card statement balance transfers.

Pay no annual fee, but there is a 3% foreign transaction fee. Since every business needs a bank account, opening a deposit account at TD Bank could be a good idea. The minimum spend should be easy to achieve, but the reward bonus isn’t as big as ones you can get from other banks. Plus, you can often get a higher percentage of cash back from several other providers, without having to open a bank account.

#2. Get a $250 Credit Card Statement Credit from the American Express Blue Business Cash™ Card

With the American Express Blue Business Cash™ Card, you can earn a $250 credit on your remaining statement balance. So, this is for after you spend $3,000 in purchases on in the first 3 months. It has a 0.0% introductory APR on purchases for the first 12 months. After that APR is variable, from 13.24%—19.24%, based on creditworthiness. Plus, there is no annual fee.

#1. Get a $300 Credit from the Business Advantage Travel Rewards World Mastercard®

We saved the best for last. With the Business Advantage Travel Rewards World Mastercard®, you can earn 30,000 online bonus points after spending at least $3,000 in the first 90 days. You can redeem your points for a $300 credit card statement credit towards travel or dining-related purchases.

It has a 0% Introductory APR on purchases for the first 9 billing cycles. After the intro APR offer ends, a variable APR of 12.24%—22.24% will apply. This card has no annual fee.

Bonus: Get a Statement Credit with Conditions from Spark 2X Miles

With Spark 2X Miles, you can earn unlimited double miles on every purchase. Plus, earn a 50,000 miles bonus when you spend $4,500 in the first 3 months. Pay a $0 intro annual fee for the first year, then $95 after.

You can get a credit card statement credit in one of two ways. One is if you use your card to complete the Global Entry application and pay the $100 application fee. The other ways is to complete the TSA Pre✓® application and pay the $85 application fee. Credit will appear within two billing cycles. It will apply to whichever program you apply for first. You can only get one statement credit per account every four years.

You are eligible for one $100 statement credit per account, OR one $85 statement credit per account. This is for every 4 years in connection with the Global Entry or TSA Pre✔® program application fee.

Also, to apply the credit, your account must be open and in good standing. You cannot get a statement credit for fees charged to a Spark Miles Select card, or any Capital One card that is not a Spark Miles card. And you cannot get a statement credit for fees paid for with PayPal®.

Bonus: Get a Choice of Statement Credit Amounts from the Business Platinum Card® from American Express

With the Business Platinum Card® from American Express, you have a choice of statement credit types and amounts.

You can get a $400 statement credit on purchases from Dell Technologies. Or earn a $360 statement credit on purchases from Indeed. Another option is a $150 statement credit for subscriptions from Adobe Creative Solutions. And another choice is a $120 statement credit for wireless telephone service purchases.

Other perks include quintuple points on flights and prepaid hotels. You can also get credits and bonuses for airline and other travel costs.

Pay a 0.0% intro APR for the first 12 months, on purchases eligible for their ‘Pay Over Time’ program, then a 14.24%—22.24% variable APR.

But this card, as you would expect from platinum, has a $695 annual fee. We put this one a bit ahead of the Delta card (see below) because there are more and larger statement credit options. Plus they don’t seem to award statement credits on a quadrennial basis. If you travel a lot for business, and if you need to impress clients, then this one may be worth your while. But an annual fee that runs over 1/3 of a typical monthly mortgage payment is an extremely high hurdle to get over.

Bonus: Get a $100 Credit Credit from Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card

With the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card, you can get a $100 statement credit after you spend $4,000 in the first 3 months. Also, Basic Card Members can get a statement credit for a five-year membership every 4 years after applying for Global Entry ($100). Or get a statement credit every 4.5 years after applying for TSA Pre✓® (up to $85) through any Authorized Enrollment Provider.

APR on purchases will be a variable rate, 15.74%—24.74%, based on creditworthiness.

But there is a ridiculously high $550 annual fee! The statement credit is nice, but it is not worth it.

Takeaways

The business credit cards we reviewed offer statement credit deals running from $85 to $400. Annual percentage rates run from 0% t0 24.74%, with many cards offering a 0% introductory APR for a limited time. Some cards offer monetary bonuses, often dependent upon spending a minimum amount during a short window of time. And always check a provider’s website for the latest and most accurate details on any business credit card that interests you.
