Job Description
We're looking for an engineer who loves working with customers and helping them succeed. If you find it FUN to connect disparate systems together at scale, you’ll love working at Minicor.
The role:
- Work directly with customers to scope technical solutions and get them to production (and more importantly to scale)
- Build automations on VMs that are running legacy software through our platform and deploy our AI agents for self-healing
- Architect middlewares that sit between our platform and the legacy systems, handling caching, data reads, and hydration jobs so that automations run with the lowest latency possible
- Figure out solutions to weird problems (how do you reliably write to a system that was only meant to be interacted with by humans? how do you break up workflows to survive thousands of runs per day?)
- Feed everything you learn from customers back into the product!
What we're looking for:
- At least 1 year of experience working directly with customers in a technical capacity
- Experience building full stack applications
- You've gotten customers live before and you know what that actually takes
- You like talking to people and you're good at it
- You're excited by problems that don't have obvious solutions
- Legacy software doesn't scare you
How we work:
- Small team, growing super fast, things are constantly breaking
- We interact with critical software older than us regularly, and a big part of our job is being crafty about building solutions to read and write to them at scale
- Customers are deeply embedded in how we build product
- No ego. We respect everyone on the team, hold each other accountable, have high expectations for each other, work hard, but are understanding that there is life outside of work
- We deliver everything for our customer, have a lot of fun in the process, and don't take ourselves too seriously
If this sounds interesting, we'd love to meet with you!
A call with both founders, CEO and then CTO. The most important thing here is for us to get an understanding of you as a person and what you’re passionate about. Please tell us about hard problems you’ve encountered - it’s awesome when we just get into a candid conversations here.
After this:
- We prefer a short contract-to-hire where we ship something together (ideally two weeks, but we're flexible if you're currently working somewhere)
This is just as much for you to assess us as it is for us to assess you. We really want to make sure this is the best place for you to succeed at.
At Minicor, we’re tackling the gross but fun problem of getting AI into legacy systems. Our customers are AI companies who sell to enterprise customers (think hospitals, warehouses, HVAC companies, car dealerships, hotels, …) who all are dying to use AI but aren’t able to because their critical systems are all super old Windows desktop applications with no APIs that run on-premises.
The only way to “reliably” connect to those systems is to build UI automations (RPAs) that execute sequences of clicks and keystrokes to complete a task like a human would. These are inherently extremely brittle because a single pixel change can break critical tasks like inputting medical record details. On average, before using Minicor, our customers report error rates north of 30% for their RPA integrations - where each failure requires one of their engineers to physically log into the desktop running the automation and debug/diagnose the issue BY HAND. This becomes a critical issue at scale where 1000+ automation runs per day mean hundreds of engineering support tickets.
Minicor lets developers build Windows desktop automations at scale. Engineers use our MCP + claude code/cursor to build Desktop RPAs and store them as step based workflows that can be triggered via API. Each workflow execution on Minicor stores video replays and logs, so when one fails a Minicor agent can diagnose and take actions to fix the issue or notify a human.
We are a small team of multi time founders and engineers who love working with customers, distributed systems, and most importantly really really old disgusting horrible legacy software.
We have a lot of fun as a team, we respect and trust each other and uphold a strict "no ego" policy at the company.
Currently growing super fast, things are constantly breaking, and are looking for people to help urgently!
