First there was a dog.

Miriam is a French bulldog. She wears glasses in exactly one portrait, takes her responsibilities seriously, and has never once refreshed a job board. The product is named after her because she models the correct posture toward a job search: alert, unhurried, and unwilling to chase anything that isn’t worth the walk.

The software came second. Her founder was running his own search, a senior role conducted quietly while employed, and found the tooling insulting. Job boards wanted engagement. Alerts fired on keyword matches a first-year recruiter would have laughed at. Every “great fit” buried its dealbreaker in line fourteen of the requirements. So he did what operators do: wrote down his criteria, listed his target companies, and built a small program to check their boards and keep honest books.

The program worked. The weekly read took two minutes. When roles appeared, it said why they scored; when they didn’t, it quoted the line that cut them. Friends running their own quiet searches asked for copies. At some point a copy needed a name, and the dog was sitting right there.

That’s the whole story. No founding myth, no team page of crossed arms. A dog, a search that needed better books, and a tool that keeps them, on your machine, for your search.
