CAREERS

Build with senior people

We're a small, senior team of engineers and designers building AI-native products. No agency layers. No telephone game. Real ownership from day one.

WHAT WE VALUE

The principles behind how we work

These aren't poster words — they show up in how we scope projects, review each other's work, and pick what to ship next.

Substance over hype

AI only matters when it solves a real problem. We build for outcomes, not buzzwords.

Ship to learn

Working software in your hands beats perfect plans on paper, every week.

Own the outcome

We treat the product like it's ours — from architecture down to the last pixel.

Stay senior

You work directly with the people writing the code. No telephone game, no offshoring.

Craft & clarity

Clean code, considered design, and language that means something — details compound.

Optimism, applied

The interesting problems are the ones nobody has solved yet. We approach them expecting to win.

WHAT WE OFFER

A place built for serious builders

The conditions that let a senior team do its best work — and stay for the long run.

01

Fully remote

Work from anywhere your timezone overlaps with the team. No mandatory offices, no rigid hours.

02

Senior-only team

No career-limiting layers between you and the work. Everyone on the team ships.

03

Direct impact on the product

You see what you build in a customer's hands within weeks — and you own how it lands.

04

Modern equipment & AI tooling budget

A hardware refresh, a serious AI tooling budget, and time carved out to actually explore what's new.

FAQ

Questions candidates ask us first

The short answers we usually give on a first call.

What does the team culture look like day to day?
Small, senior, opinionated in a friendly way. We write things down, review each other's work in public, and default to shipping. Meetings exist to unblock decisions, not to fill the calendar.
Is the role really fully remote?
Yes. Everyone on the team is remote and we hire across US and EU timezones. We meet in person once or twice a year for team weeks, but there's no office to come to.
What does the interview process look like?
A first conversation, a paid technical exercise you own end-to-end, a working session with two engineers on your submission, and a final conversation with a founder. Usually two to three weeks start to finish.
What tools and AI-assisted workflows do you use?
Modern editors, LLM coding assistants, LangSmith for AI observability, Linear for planning, and whatever else the team decides earns its place. You get a real tooling budget and time to try things.
What benefits are on offer beyond compensation?
Competitive salary, equity for senior roles, health coverage where jurisdiction allows a clean plan, generous PTO with a minimum, a hardware refresh, and paid learning and conference budgets.
Do you hire junior engineers or new grads?
Not right now. Every open role expects several years of shipping production systems. We're a senior-only team by design, though we'll happily point strong junior candidates toward companies we admire.
