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.
- Remote With Real Collaboration: We are a remote-first team but believe strong collaboration requires real interaction. The team meets regularly in San Francisco and Europe for focused building sessions and hackathons.
