Careers

Small teams. Real ownership.

Every company in the group is run by a team small enough to fit around one table. If you want scope rather than a narrow slice of someone else's plan, this is where it is.

How we work

Four things worth knowing before you apply.

Scope

You own an area, not a ticket queue

Teams are small enough that everyone holds a real surface. You will decide things, and you will be the one who has to live with them.

Pace

Sustainable beats heroic

We fund from operating profit, so there is no artificial deadline set by a fundraise. We would rather ship on Tuesday than burn a weekend.

Remote

Remote-first, written by default

Decisions live in documents, not in meetings you had to attend. That is what makes the time zones work rather than merely tolerable.

Open roles

Currently hiring.

Do not see your role? Write to us anyway and tell us what you would want to own. We read every one.

The process

Four conversations, about two weeks.

No take-home that eats your weekend, and no panel of eight. You will always know what the next step is and when to expect it.

  1. Intro call — 30 minutes

    What you are looking for, what the role actually involves, and whether those overlap. Compensation range is discussed here, not at the end.

  2. Craft conversation — 60 minutes

    We walk through something you have built, in depth. No whiteboard algorithms. If you would rather work through a small paid exercise instead, we can do that.

  3. Working session — 90 minutes

    A real problem from the team you would join, worked through together. This is the closest approximation we have to the actual job.

  4. Offer and references

    You meet the company lead, we speak to two references you choose, and you get a written offer with the reasoning behind the number.
