About the Role

We're seeking smart, ambitious engineers at all levels to join our fast moving team.

  • Passion for consumer products with demonstrated ability to ship features that delight users

  • Strong computer science fundamentals

Bonus

  • Competitive programming background (IOI, USACO Gold/Platinum, ACM-ICPC, or similar)

  • Open source project contributions

What makes us interesting

  • Small, elite team of ex-founders, researchers from top AI Labs, top CS grads, and engineers from top companies

  • True ownership You will not be blocked by bureaucracy, shipping meaningful work within weeks rather than months

  • Serious momentum We're well-funded by top investors, moving fast, and focused on execution

What we do

  • Ship consumer products powered by cutting-edge AI research, and

  • Build infrastructure that facilitates research and product, and
