Our Team 💜

By joining Mesh you are joining our family. We’re co-founded by three superstars and all around wonderful individuals - Ron, Vivek, and Mike. We’ve worked together as a team for 8 years and exited our previous startup, an AI receptionist, to Mindbody. Outside of work we like to do things like rock climb, nerd out on the MCU and other sci-fi-y things, and clean up baby poo (Vivek is a new dad).

We believe that the best ideas come from a diverse team, and we encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply. If you're a motivated and ambitious engineer with a passion for technology and a keen interest in being an integral part of a game-changing data & AI startup, we'd love to hear from you!

• Ambition: we’re here to make waves, and have fun doing it!
• Simplicity: we strive for elegant solutions that reduce complexity, both for our customers and for our team.
• Trust: we don’t have time to micromanage. We trust each other to put our best foot forward and be autonomous.
• Humble confidence: we know our strengths and are ready to take the lead, but we know there is always more to learn.
• People first: We treat each other with respect and kindness, and support one another in our goals, personal and professional.
• Strong opinions, weakly held: Leave your ego at the door. The best ideas win, no matter who they come from. We aren’t afraid to make a strong case, but are always open to changing our minds.

When you join Mesh, we don’t just want you to work with us, we want you to live well. That’s why it’s important to us that we provide competitive benefits to support you in your needs and goals.

We’re looking for driven, smart, kind, product-minded people, with the right skills to help build a game changing company. Our interview process is designed with that goal in mind, and we aim to make the process as smooth, efficient, and hopefully as enjoyable as possible for you!

Timing: Depending on availability, we aim to get you through the process in under 2 weeks.

Step 1: 30 min Phone Screen with Mike (CTO) This is a casual introductory call to get to know you and your professional experience, assess some basic technical knowledge, and for you to learn more about our company and the role.

Step 2: 45 min Take Home Coding Challenge This is a coding challenge that reflects the kind of problems that you’ll be solving while working here. It’s designed based on an actual problem that we’ve had to solve in the product and our goal is to see how you think through engineering problems. This will involve working with Python and dataframes in pandas, but it’s ok if you are not a pandas expert - any library-specific functions you need will be provided.

If needed, we will schedule a quick follow up call to discuss the coding challenge to clarify something or allow you to talk about your thought process.

Final onsite interview: 30 min Chat with Vivek (Chief Product Officer) Casual chat to get to know you.

30 min Chat with Ron (CEO) Casual chat to get to know you.

45 min Architecture Question with Mike We will walk through an engineering design problem together to see how you think about systems at a higher level. This is collaborative and we’ll talk through solutions and tradeoffs together.

45 min Coding Challenge Pt 2 with Mike This is a continuation of the take home coding challenge that will build on your previous solution and touch some different technical areas. It will involve Python, SQL, and some debugging.
