Role
Who you are
- You're fiercely ambitious and fundamentally interested in doing great work
- You're passionate about your craft and it feels weird to call it "work"
- You care deeply about customer needs, the problems they face, and therefore the products you can build to solve them
- You’re excited by the ambiguous terrain that comes with being part of an early-stage company
- You love building/shipping and are curious about starting your own company one day
- You get fired up by the fact that our most valuable asset is our velocity
- You enjoy shipping on Fridays
What the job involves
- At Metaview, a Product Engineer is a customer-obsessed, product-focused Software Engineer
- Fundamentally, this means a Product Engineer works towards goals, not tasks
- As one of our first Product Engineers, you’ll lead the design, development, and operations of our products
- We’re a small and autonomous team, so you’ll end up wearing many hats and having meaningful impact
- A Product Engineer is by necessity full stack, but we appreciate everyone has their biases and areas of expertise
- For this role, we're looking for backend bias
- You'll spend most of your coding cycles on the backend but you may have to touch other parts of the stack to unblock yourself and maintain high velocity
- It doesn’t matter what languages and tools you know when you join us, but it does matter that you can write clean, effective code and are excited by learning new languages and tools
- Our product is constantly evolving, so we need engineers who can do the same
- Our current stack consists of tools and technologies such as:
- Python to write our backend application code
- Typescript and React to write our frontend application code
- Serverless Framework for creating and managing our application infrastructure
- Terraform for managing the foundational infrastructure
- AWS for all of our infrastructure

Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
According to Metaview, hiring teams are often relying on feelings and biased memories when making hiring decisions. Metaview aims to solve this problem by empowering organisations to make hiring decisions based on truth, at scale.
The company differentiates itself through the innovation of its product: Metaview analyses the data collected from interviews to provide interviewers with actionable insights, feedback, and coaching. This allows companies to optimise their interviews at a level rarely seen in enterprises.
Companies like Robinhood, AngelList, and Hudl are already using Metaview to hire better, faster, and without bias. Metaview is now focusing on producing collaboration features, deeper & more informative metrics about the health of interviews, and even more timely & effective interviewer training and coaching at scale.

Company values
- Own it end-to-end. From inputs to outcome: Our responsibilities do not stop at the edge of our skill sets or interests. We ship end-to-end and only stop when the customer has felt the benefit
- Actively transparent: We all work to operationalize transparency actively in how we communicate. Without all the information, how can you trust our amazing teammates to do amazing things?
- Work backward from the customer: It’s easy to get excited by cool ideas, or things that are “now possible”. But our customers have problems to solve, objectives to hit, and opportunities to sieze
- Optimise for rate-of learning: We treat learnings as the highest form of currency for delivering future impact, and act accordingly: we run experiments, question thoroughly, and talk to customers over and over. We covet earned secrets
- Drive to clarity: We believe upfront and ongoing alignment is a multiplier on our net effectiveness, so we value precise language and driving to clarity

- We believe the best — and only — way to fast-forward to the truth is by thinking differently. And we can only think differently if we have unique and varied perspectives.
- We cultivate a high-trust environment for all team members. The only thing that matters is the quality of the work, and that we're having fun while we're producing it.
- This is not just performative: Our small team of 10 already spans 7 nationalities.
- As we grow, we are intent on achieving a better gender balance.
- Our product is itself one of the best tools for improving fairness and consistency of hiring practises. For example, Metaview's data shows that female candidates get 12% less air time during interviews than their male counterparts. By empowering customers with these insights, we are finally enabling them to solve the causes of these issues.
