You will work directly with the founding team and leverage your experiences and abilities to inform decisions from product, technology, and strategy.

• You are a self-starter and enjoy working with minimal supervision.
• You evaluate and make technical architecture decisions with a long-term view, optimizing for speed, quality, and safety.
• You take pride in the product you create and the code that you write.
• Your team can rely on you to get them out of a sticky situation in production.

• You are a first principles engineer who exercises curiosity about the technologies you work with.

Culture

Who we are: Our founding team is composed of a Serial Gen AI Inventor and a Serial Entrepreneur. We work hard, have a curious mind-set, and believe in a low-ego high output approach.

We love to move fast on all ‘two-way door’ decisions. A good decision made today is better than a ‘perfect’ decision in 1 week.

We believe in the importance of being an ‘everyday athlete’ so you can bring your best mind to work. We promote getting great sleep, motion/movement in daily, along with whatever other type of restorative activity gets you to optimal mental performance. It makes for a happier and more productive team.

More tactically, we leave the office in time to have dinner at home with our families nearly every night.
