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
As a Founding Senior Infrastructure engineer you’ll help us manage and improve how Mesa is delivered to end users. We manage our infrastructure with SST and deploy on AWS. You’ll be responsible for helping us scale this infrastructure, improve our job system, improve our observability, and help us build the most reliable product possible for our customers.
Our team
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 design The Mesa?
Not just another SaaS dashboard:
Be seen by the world’s greatest builders: Our early investors and users invented search, the feed and the like button, and our users are hardcore developers with high expectations. From day 1 your work will be the cornerstone for how they view our product’s quality and reliability and there will be ample opportunity to contribute back to the community via open source libraries and contributions.
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…

Have worked with distributed systems. Velocity is the result of making smart tradeoffs.
Want to grind and be recognized. Effort is the only input that is entirely in our control. We stay focused and stay late, because nothing feels better than the recognition that we’ve built something great.
