About the role

As Meticulous's first Forward Deployed Engineer in San Francisco, you'll establish our US FDE presence and help define how this function operates from the ground up.
The FDE team is still small and the playbook is still being written - you'll be instrumental in shaping the processes, tooling, and best practices that the function runs on as it scales.
You'll work directly with engineering leaders at the world's most AI-driven companies, understanding their unique architectures and crafting solutions that work for their specific needs.

You own each customer end-to-end - and do what's needed to make sure Meticulous is transformational for them.
We're building the last piece of the puzzle to help companies unlock AI code generation - the part that makes it actually safe to ship.
We spent 3 years building the foundational technology to crack this - hard to replicate, and several years ahead of anything else on the market.
🍲 Unlimited food & drinks in office - including daily lunch as a team, and your own Amazon business account to buy whatever snacks you want for the office.

Exceptional engineering skills: Typically 3+ years in a demanding technical role, but we'll consider exceptional candidates with 1+ years of experience.
Strong communication skills: You can explain complex technical concepts to both engineers and executives, and you're energized by customer collaboration
You grow through a combination of the people you work with, and the experiences you're exposed to.

Clear path into leadership as the function grows.
Within that context:
Through this comes unique growth, but also unique network.
Base salary $200K-$400K plus significant equity, exceeding compensation at top technology companies and startups.

This is an opportunity to join a company in hypergrowth as we scale from millions of annual recurring revenue to $100M ARR.

AI is enabling engineers to write code faster than ever before.
But software review and testing hasn't caught up.
Engineering leaders are drowning in long review cycles and more bugs than ever.
The bottleneck isn't writing code anymore - it's everything that comes after it.
Since then, we've grown 5x year-on-year and now work with some of the most AI-driven engineering teams in the world: Notion, ElevenLabs, Dropbox, Discord, LaunchDarkly, Wiz, CoreWeave, Wealthsimple, and more.
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.
We're backed by the same investors behind Twilio, Twitch, Intercom, and PagerDuty.
Individual investors include the founders of Vercel, Datadog, Segment, and Dropbox, the CTO of GitHub, the CPO of Adobe, the head of Engineering at Cursor, and many more.
Our mission is to radically accelerate the pace of software development by empowering every engineer to ship at the speed their agents write code.
