Careers
We hire rarely, and slowly.
Six people have ever been employed here, so this page is usually empty.
Pitch a role
Tell us what you would do here that nobody is doing.
Most of the people here arrived without a posting to answer. One page is enough: the problem you want to work on, what you have already built in that area, and what you would spend the first year doing. If it is a real argument we will take it seriously, and if it is not for us you will get a reason.
Send itHow we hire
03 stepsWe read what you built
Send the thing, not the description of the thing. A repository, a paper, a rule you drafted, a system that runs. If the work is somewhere public, the link is the application.
A conversation, not a panel
One long conversation about a problem you have actually worked on, with the people you would work with. No case study written over a weekend for free, and no exercise invented to rank you against other candidates.
A decision, with a reason
Two weeks from that conversation, and a reason either way. A rejection with no reason in it is useless to you.
What we look for
- People who have already made something in the area they want to work on, at whatever scale.
- A habit of going back to first principles rather than to the last draft everyone agreed on.
- Willingness to publish what did not work, which is most of what we produce.
- Comfort being the person who says the framework cannot be built as written.
