Our mission

The pace of software development is a civilizational bottleneck.

Your bank, school, space program, and favorite cereal brand rely on software to function. However, even the world’s best technical organizations slow to a crawl as their teams scale.

The Mesa is the world’s first living codebase: an AI-powered repository that enables teams to ship faster by automating reviews, fixes, and maintenance. You can think of Mesa today as an AI-native successor to Github, but we will ultimately manage and accelerate the entire software development lifecycle.

Mesa will allow teams to ship software as quickly as they can dream it.

Our team

Mesa’s founders are:

• Oliver Gilan - founder of Antimetal, engineer at Microsoft and Census (backed by a16z and Sequoia)
• Ben Warren - YC founder, engineer at Microsoft and Census

Mesa is backed by top seed investors, including Aditya Agarwal (ex-CTO of Dropbox, early engineer at Facebook), Soleio Cuervo (ex-Head of Design at Dropbox, first designer at Facebook), Ethan Yu (Founder of Motion), and Boris Jabes (CEO & Founder of Census).

The role

We’re looking for the “Dream Architect” — a founding teammate who can imagine the world of Mesa, design new interaction primitives, and write code that brings those designs to life.

Why design The Mesa?

• Not just another SaaS dashboard: Most SaaS today is copy-paste — a few dashboards, lists, and forms. Mesa is creating new primitives for building and understanding application logic; the features that we invent will be emulated by the next generation of builders.
• Be seen by the world’s greatest builders: Our early investors and users invented search, the feed and the like button. From day 1, your designs will empower great builders to create the next big thing.
• Build for yourself: Mesa brings together engineering, product, and design in a single collaboration layer. You will use Mesa every day to build and ship software.

You’ll be a good fit if you…

• Believe that transcendent form emerges from close attention to function. You think holistically about user experience. You have the taste to meld ergonomics, performance, and aesthetics.
