Benefits

  • Real Equity: We treat early team members like partners. You’ll receive meaningful equity so the upside you help create is shared.
  • Direct Access to Leadership: You are part of the core conversation. You will work side by side with the CEO and founders every day to solve hard problems and set the strategy.
  • Work on Hard, Emerging Problems: We are building infrastructure for AI agents operating on sensitive, real time data without relying on centralized black box platforms. While parts of this ecosystem exist, the architecture for doing it securely and reliably at scale is still evolving.
  • Small Team, High Output: We believe the best teams are small and extremely capable. AI tools increase individual leverage, so we hire fewer people and expect a much higher level of ownership and output.
  • Autonomy With Accountability: We hire people who don’t wait for permission to solve problems. If you see a better way to build something, you’re expected to propose it and ship it.
  • Hybrid Work, Built Around Collaboration: We believe great systems are built through close collaboration. The team works in a hybrid setup and regularly spends time together in person in Berlin and San Francisco for focused building sessions and hackathons.
