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 a Typescript monorepo with React, Vite, Tanstack Router, on the Frontend and Hono, Drizzle, Postgres, on the backend. We are deployed to AWS Lambda and ECS using SST.

Our team & investors

Mesa is lead by two repeat founders

• Oliver Gilan (CEO) - prev Co-founded Antimetal, ex Census, Microsoft
• Benjamin Warren (CTO) - ex YC, Census, Microsoft

We are backed by incredible, deeply technical, investors including Innovation Endeavors, Essence VC, South Park Commons, Thomas Wolf (CSO @ Hugging Face), Soleio, and others.

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 that makes your life better.

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.
• Know how to 80/20 effectively. Velocity is the result of making smart tradeoffs.
