What we are building:
Mimica’s mission is to empower enterprises, teams, and individuals to reclaim their most precious resource — time and work more efficiently, with greater purpose and impact.
Our AI‑powered task mining observes employee actions across the desktop and categorizes them into detailed process maps. Mimica’s process intelligence highlights inefficiencies, prioritises improvements based on ROI, recommends the optimal technology for automation (RPA, intelligent document processing, GenAI), and provides a blueprint for building new automations and transforming work.
Our approach to engineering
We prioritise 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 maximise productivity
Mission In this role you will enhance and scale the backend systems powering the Mimica platform ( MERN
stack). You will design and implement a scalable architecture, develop and optimise backend services and APIs, improve the performance and reliability of existing components, and take operational responsibility for what you build. As a member of the early engineering team you’ll shape our technical direction, processes and culture.
Day‑to‑day responsibilities
Contribute to architectural decisions and collaborate across teams to identify and implement product improvements.
Develop and optimise a real‑time backend service that enables multiple users to edit graph data and retrain AI models through their input.
Create libraries and build APIs in our Node.js backend to interact with the various ML components of the system.
Diagnose fault‑tolerance and availability issues, as well as performance bottlenecks, and resolve them.
Refactor components and services and produce documentation for your implementations.
Provide feedback to peers through pair programming and code reviews and help others level up.
Participate in hiring and onboarding new team members; take on end‑to‑end project management responsibilities as we grow.
What you will bring
Background in backend engineering focussing on developing high‑performance production software and scalable architectures.
Minimum 8 years of experience as a Software Engineer.
Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and experience using modern frameworks and technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) to build high‑throughput, low‑latency systems.
Practical experience designing APIs and managing databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB), with a keen eye for query optimisation and efficient data storage & handling.
Firm grasp of distributed systems concepts and techniques – microservices, load balancing, caching, horizontal/vertical scaling and stateless architectures.
Commitment to upholding high engineering standards, prioritising 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.
Experience working within an international high‑impact startup/scale‑up environment – delivering value quickly and iteratively.
Active interest in AI, automation, or related fields.
