Work on AI
that ships.

How we work

Four things we believe.

Not values on a poster - the things that cause friction when we get them wrong, so we protect them deliberately.

01

Production-first

We don't build demos. Every decision - from architecture to test coverage - is made with production in mind.

02

Radical honesty

We tell clients - and each other - what they need to hear. Bad news early is better than a surprise at the end of a sprint.

03

Deep ownership

Every engineer acts like the product is theirs. That means fewer handoffs, more accountability, and better outcomes.

04

Quiet ambition

We're building something serious. We're not loud about it - we're just focused on the quality of the work.

Open roles

3 positions available.

All roles are fully remote. We hire on ability, not geography. Compensation is benchmarked to US / UK senior rates.

Benefits

What you get.

Fully remote

We've been remote-first since 2016. Work from wherever you do your best thinking.

Senior-only teams

No juniors on client projects. You'll work with engineers who challenge you - not people you have to babysit.

Meaningful work

Production AI systems for real companies, not internal tools or marketing dashboards.

Competitive pay

Senior-market comp benchmarked to US / UK rates, regardless of your location.

Learning budget

$2,400/year for courses, conferences, papers, and compute credits - no approval required under $400.

Async-first culture

Meetings only when necessary. Deep work is the default, not a luxury.

Direct access to clients

You talk to the people using what you build. No account manager buffer.

Equipment stipend

$1,500 equipment stipend on joining, refreshed every 3 years.

Hiring process

What to expect
when you apply.

We pay $200 to everyone who completes a technical assessment, regardless of the outcome. Decisions take 3 weeks or less.

01

Application review

We read every application. No automated filtering. You'll hear back within 5 business days with a decision or a request for more information.

02

Intro call (30 min)

A conversation with the hiring engineer for the role. We'll talk through your background, the work, and whether there's a fit on both sides.

03

Technical assessment

A take-home task scoped appropriately. We pay an honorarium for every completed assessment, regardless of outcome.

04

Technical review (60 min)

A deep dive into your assessment with two senior engineers. We're looking for how you think, not whether you got every line right.

05

Culture & leadership (30 min)

A conversation with a member of our leadership team. Mutual fit, compensation, expectations.

06

Offer

Written offer within 24 hours of the final call. We don't string people along.

“I've never worked somewhere where the gap between the work I do and the impact it has on real users is this small. No JIRA bureaucracy. No estimation poker. Just building things that actually ship.”

FAQ

Questions about joining us.

You need the right to work in your country.

Truly remote. We have offices in India and United States that team members can use, but we have never required it. Most of our team has never met in person. We operate async-first globally.

It depends on the role. For engineering roles, it's a practical problem similar to the kind of work you'd do in the first month - not a contrived whiteboard exercise. We scope it appropriately and pay an honorarium for every completed assessment.

We aim for a timely process from first contact to offer. If you need to move faster, tell us - we'll prioritise your process.

Not on client-facing roles. All client projects are staffed with senior engineers. We occasionally hire for internal tooling or research roles that are accessible to strong mid-level engineers, which we'll note in the listing.

We work across time zones with an overlap window for synchronous collaboration. We don't require availability outside this window, but we do expect async responsiveness during working hours in your time zone.
