Mimica's mission is to accelerate the discovery and deployment of automation with AI. Our first product, Mapper, learns patterns from employee clicks and keystrokes, identifies key steps, decisions and exceptions in user data and generates “blueprints” for automation. Today, it supports RPA teams, that build software bots for repetitive computer tasks such as data entry, form completion and claim processing. Alongside creating process maps for automation, we've launched a companion tool, Miner, which helps enterprises identify and prioritize automation opportunities.
Our approach to engineering
- We prioritize 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 maximize our productivity
Your mission
In this role, your mission will be to improve and expand the capabilities of the Mimica Web App. This means designing a robust architecture, developing new features, defining solutions for pressing issues in production, releasing improvements to existing components and taking operational responsibility for what you build. You will seek to understand user needs and pain points, experiment and iterate on your solutions leveraging tight feedback loops. As a member of our early engineering team, you‘ll have the opportunity to shape our technical direction, processes and culture.
Part of your day-to-day
- Developing a visualization tool and a data-rich dashboard that display process flows and metrics in novel ways.
- Building interfaces and real-time frontend services that enable multiple users to edit graph data and re-train AI models through their input.
- Enabling the auto-generation of process maps and bot code, elevating the experience of the users interacting with task-mining results.
- Participating in architectural decisions, collaborating across teams to identify and implement product improvements and producing documentation for your implementations.
- Providing feedback to peers through pair programming and code reviews and helping those around you to level up.
- Participating in hiring and onboarding new team members; taking on end-to-end project management responsibilities as we grow.
- Background in frontend or full-stack engineering, with a focus on developing modern, enterprise-class web applications.
- Proven experience in architecting high-quality UI components and crafting intuitive interfaces, complex layouts, and interactions that efficiently handle large datasets.
- Proficient in JavaScript, CSS3, and one or more major frontend frameworks or libraries such as React, including comprehensive state management solutions.
- Deep understanding of performance optimization techniques, including code splitting, lazy loading, efficient asset delivery, and strategies to minimize unnecessary re-renders.
- Commitment to upholding high engineering standards, delivering clean, testable, reusable, modular, and well-documented code.
- Demonstrated analytical and troubleshooting skills –methodically decomposing systems to identify bottlenecks, determine root causes and implement 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, design, development, testing, deployment, release and monitoring.
- Familiarity with security concepts relevant to frontend development, such as preventing cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, configuring CORS appropriately, and securing client-side storage.
- Knowledge of advanced system design principles, data structures, algorithms, and the core concepts underlying scalable and reliable architectures.
- Background working in fast-paced, high-ambiguity startup environments, with a track record of delivering value quickly and iteratively.
- Active interest in AI, automation, or related fields

What We Do
Every year billions of hours of human creativity are wasted on repetitive work, such as data entry, form completion, and claim processing. At Mimica, we believe drudgery should be left to machines; humans deserve better. That's why we are developing a new paradigm for automation: our AI learns to perform tasks through observation.
Our software eliminates the need for teams of developers to explicitly program every action users perform, saving months of manual effort and hundreds of thousands of pounds in costs. We flip the traditional paradigm and make automation accessible to everyone.
Imagine your computer learning to take care of your work for you. That's the future we're building.
