What We Are Building
Mimica's mission is to accelerate the discovery and deployment of automation with AI. Our first product, Mapper , learns patterns from employee clicks and keystrokes, identifies key steps, decisions and exceptions in user data and generates "blueprints" for automation. Today, it supports RPA teams, that build software bots for repetitive computer tasks such as data entry, form completion and claim processing. Alongside creating process maps for automation, we've launched a companion tool, Miner , which helps enterprises identify and prioritize automation opportunities.
Our approach to engineering
We prioritize customer needs first
We work in small, project-based teams
We have flexibility in terms of the problems we work on
We own the full lifecycle of our projects
We avoid silos and encourage taking up tasks in new areas
We balance quality and velocity
We have a shared responsibility for our production code
We each set our own routine to maximize our productivity
Your mission
In this role, your mission will be to enhance and scale the backend systems powering the Mimica platform. This means designing and implementing a scalable architecture, developing and optimizing backend services and APIs, improving the performance and reliability of existing components, and taking operational responsibility for what you build. As a member of our early engineering team, you‘ll have the opportunity to shape our technical direction, processes and culture.
Part of your day-to-day
Contributing to architectural decisions and collaborating across teams to identify and implement product improvements
Developing and optimizing a real-time backend service that enables multiple users to edit graph data and re-train AI models through their input
Creating libraries and building APIs in our Node backend to interact with the various ML components of the system
Diagnozing fault-tolerance and availability issues, as well as performance bottlenecks, and resolving them
Refactoring our components and services and producing documentation for your implementations
Providing feedback to peers through pair programming and code reviews and helping those around you to level up
Participating in hiring and onboarding new team members; taking on end-to-end project management responsibilities as we grow
Requirements
Background in backend engineering, focusing on developing high-performance production software and scalable architectures
Proficiency in in JavaScript/TypeScript, and a willingness to utilize various modern frameworks and technologies (e.g., Docker, K8s) to build high-throughput, low-latency systems
Practical experience in designing APIs and managing databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB), with a keen eye for query optimization and efficient data storage & handling
Commitment to upholding high engineering standards, prioritizing code quality, maintainability, reliability, and security
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills - methodically decomposing systems to identify bottlenecks, determine root causes and implement effective solutions
Drive to continually develop your skills, improve team processes and reduce debt
Fluency in English, with effective communication skills - articulating complex ideas, concepts, and trade-offs clearly.
Bonus
Experience owning projects from start to finish, including speccing, architecture, development, testing, deployment, release and monitoring
Firm grasp of distributed systems concepts and techniques - microservices, load balancing, caching, horizontal/vertical scaling and stateless architectures
Working knowledge of secure software design principles and familiarity with secure communication protocols and data protection mechanisms
Experience working within a high-impact, high-ambiguity startup environment - delivering value quickly and iteratively
Active interest in AI, automation, or related fields
We'd love to hear from you, even if you feel you don't quite have all of the skills mentioned above
Benefits
We take a structured approach to determining salaries and take into consideration our salary framework, market data, and candidates' skills. We also offer health benefits and ample paid time off, as well as a range of non-tangible benefits like flexible schedules and location, start-to-finish project ownership, and the opportunity to contribute to projects that will change the future of work.
