Our mission

To build the next generation of purpose-built developer tooling to bend the curve on software quality and development velocity. We are starting with the problem of code review and quality control.

The role

We’re seeking a maker - someone with hardcore software engineering skills plus the pragmatism and autonomy to act as their own PM.

You’ll be responsible for the product across the stack, from infrastructure, to frontend, backend, documentation etc. You’ll define and own your own projects, interact with customers, communicate your progress, and see the gaps to proactively improve the product.

Our tech stack is React, Hono, SST, Drizzle, and Postgres.

Our team & investors

We are a lean team with extremely high ownership and autonomy.

Mesa is lead by two repeat founders

• Oliver Gilan - co-founder of Antimetal, engineer at Microsoft and Census
• Ben Warren - Ex-YC, engineer at Microsoft and Census

In addition to our team, 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).

Why build The Mesa?

• Solve a high-leverage problem: Fixing the development lifecycle is the highest leverage problem in the world. As the demands of software grow, the Software Crisis worsens every year. If you care about developer experience, there’s no better product to work on.
• 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 code 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…

• Are driven by product outcomes. You care more about the end-user experience than the tech stack or planning process.
