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 repetition, 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 introduced Miner, for automation, we have 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
What you will own
You will play a key role in driving the evolution of one of our core components, the Mimica Recorder. This means developing new features related to capturing user interactions (clicks, keystrokes, and screenshots), tackling our most pressing challenges in production, releasing improvements to existing functionality and taking operational responsibility for what you build. As a member of our early engineering team, you‘ll help shape our technical direction and culture.

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.
