Mendral careers

Mendral is The AI DevOps Engineer. Three always-on agents handle security, reliability, and performance, plus custom automations for anything else specific to your stack. From the team behind Docker and Dagger.

CI was built for humans. AI coding tools now generate hundreds of PRs a day per team, and traditional pipelines can't keep up. Flaky tests, slow builds, supply chain risk, noisy alerts: all of it lands on the engineers who least want to be looking at it. Mendral handles that work autonomously, so shipping isn't gated on humans staring at CI.

We're two engineers who spent the last decade building developer infrastructure. Sam was Docker's first hire and VP of Engineering, scaling the team from 3 to 100+. Andrea authored Docker's first commit. We co-founded Dagger (YC W19) with Solomon Hykes, then started Mendral (YC W26) to solve the reliability problem we kept hitting at every team we worked with.

Today Mendral runs in production at PostHog, Metabase, Luminai, Inngest, Clipboard Health, Blaxel among others. Across millions of CI jobs, 73% of failures auto-match to known issues. PostHog accepted 104 fixes from Mendral in a single month. Anyshift pinned the safe Trivy version two weeks before the supply chain attack, so they didn't have to rotate keys across their infra.
