A note from Nico

Why we’re building minitap.

Nico, co-founder and CEO of minitapNicoCo-founder & CEO

There’s a specific kind of heartbreak I keep coming back to: I shipped something, and my users didn’t want it.

It’s the moment an idea meets reality and you have to confront what you got wrong. Too many people either never reach that moment, or reach it so late that they give up. I think that is one of humanity’s biggest wastes.

I started minitap to shorten the distance between making something and learning the truth about it. If we can make that loop faster and less painful, more good ideas get the chance to become real.

How we work

A few things we believe about working together

  • Mini dressed as an explorer, holding a flag at the end of a winding path

    Distance travelled matters more than credentials.

    We care much less about where you studied or how impressive your starting point looks than how far you’ve already moved. Going from less than zero to something tells us a lot.

  • Mini tending a young plant with a watering can

    We make long-term bets on people.

    You do not need to be a top performer on day one. We will give you trust and responsibility early if you have the drive to grow into them—and we will help you get there.

  • Mini wearing a mechanic cap and repairing a small machine

    Make mistakes. Just learn from them.

    Trying ambitious things means getting things wrong. That is fine. Making the exact same mistake twice is not.

  • Mini travelling with a tiny airplane and matching luggage

    There are no executive-only benefits.

    If we need to be in San Francisco, we fly the team to San Francisco. Access, context, and meaningful experiences should not depend on your title.

  • Mini wearing glasses beside a teacup and hourglass

    Hiring takes the time it takes.

    We intend to invest real time in you, so we put the same care into hiring. The process may involve a few conversations. It is not theatre—we want both sides to know what they are committing to.

  • Mini in a scarf resting beside a mature flowering tree

    We hope you stay.

    We are building for the long term and want to work with people who feel the same. The goal is not to fill a seat. It is to grow together for years.

We've released minitest. Minitest solves a problem every small to medium sized mobile team I've spoken to has felt. You're shipping faster than ever, AI wrote half the code and you're still holding your breath every release week because mobile punishes you asymmetrically. Once it's out, it's out. That's what minitest fixes. Mini owns your entire test suite from end to end, authoring, execution, triage and fix prompts included. Zero scripts, zero maintenance, and tests that survive any refactor. It runs the job a real user would run, on real iOS and Android devices. When something breaks, a session replay, device logs and a Cursor-ready fix prompt land in Slack before your standup. When nothing does, you get a green light and you ship. Cursor and Claude Code changed what engineers can build. minitest changes whether they can ship it. Every partner that books a demo now gets 50% off for the next year.

We are looking for exceptional students aiming for an exceptional career.

Who we are

AI has made writing and shipping code dramatically faster. The capacity to verify that code hasn’t kept up. More changes reach every release, while QA remains manual, fragmented, and dependent on brittle test scripts.

Minitap is building mini, the QA superemployee.

mini connects to a company’s product specs, tickets, and codebase. It learns how the product works, maps its user journeys, and understands what changes with every release. It can then test each pull request based on what is actually at risk, run full regressions, investigate failures, and return actionable reports to the engineering team.

Unlike traditional test automation, mini doesn’t wait for someone to write and maintain every test case. It works across the software development lifecycle like a great QA teammate would: continuously building context, deciding what matters, and flagging problems nobody explicitly asked it to look for.

We’re a small team in Paris, backed by Moxxie Ventures, Mercuri, and Tekton Ventures after raising $4.1M. As a Software Engineer Intern, you’ll help build the intelligence and infrastructure that turn mini from an agent into a genuinely exceptional teammate.

What you'd own

Production code, shipped under your name, used by paying customers from week one.

  • LLM cost and performance optimization through advanced context engineering. We benchmark frontier models against each other and negotiate directly with the labs. You'd be in the middle of that as every token you save changes what we can offer customers.
  • Investigate complex failures across models, devices, customer applications, backend services, and CI pipelines.
  • An event-driven microservice you would write end to end, deployed to production, used by real customers from the start.
  • Automated mobile QA flows that make the product more reliable for the teams that count on it.

Our stack: Python, TypeScript, microservices on Kubernetes, RabbitMQ for events, AWS and GCP.

Claude Code and OpenCode are part of how we build day to day.

A typical week is around 70% coding, 15% pairing and code review, 15% demos, product specs, and team rituals. You'd sit in product, engineering, and customer calls. We write the technical spec with you, and then it's yours to take to production.

Day to day, you'd work with Pilou (Head of Engineering), and Luc and Nico (founders) are close by.

Must-have requirements

  • You have compelling evidence that you can build. You’ve created and shipped an ambitious technical project beyond mandatory coursework and can explain precisely what you owned.
  • You are an unusually strong problem solver. You break difficult problems into testable hypotheses, reason from first principles, and keep digging until you understand the real cause.
  • You learn exceptionally fast. You can enter a new codebase or technical area, identify what matters, and become productive with limited guidance.
  • You take ownership. You make progress without waiting for perfectly scoped instructions, communicate when you’re blocked, and remain responsible for whether your work succeeds.

Desirable requirements

  • You’ve built an ambitious product, open-source project, developer tool, game, research project, or startup.
  • You have experience with AI agents, LLM systems, computer vision, evaluation, or the reliability of probabilistic systems.
  • You’ve worked with Android, iOS, mobile automation, device infrastructure, or end-to-end testing.
  • You are exceptionally well organized and can manage complex work without losing details or leaving loops open.
  • Other strong builders actively choose to work with you again.

What you get

  • 2,000€ / month gross
  • 50% transport reimbursement
  • Mac + equipment provided
  • Location: Station F, Paris
  • 5 days onsite, with some flexibility
  • CDI offer at the end if there's long-term fit. We hire interns we actually want to keep.

How to apply

Through EPITA's job teaser portal. Send:

  • Your CV
  • Your GitHub / portfolio link
  • One side project you're genuinely proud of

Process:

  1. Show us what makes you exceptional
  2. 20min conversation with Luc, COO
  3. Take-home or 1h technical deep-dive with Pierre-Louis, Head of Engineering
  4. 45min DNA Deep Dive with Nico, CEO
  5. Mutual conviction and offer

We hire when we find the right person. Luc (co-founder, COO, also EPITA) reviews applications first.

You've already built something impressive? Show us what you made.
