Our Culture

Who we are: Our founding team is composed of a Serial Gen AI Inventor and a Serial Entrepreneur. We work hard, have a curious mind-set, and believe in a low-ego high output approach.

We love to move fast on all 'two-way door' decisions. A good decision made today is better than a 'perfect' decision in 1 week.

We believe in the importance of being an 'everyday athlete' so you can bring your best mind to work. We promote getting great sleep, motion/movement in daily, along with whatever other type of restorative activity gets you to optimal mental performance. It makes for a happier and more productive team.

We emphasize mentorship and growth, providing junior team members with opportunities to learn from experienced engineers and advance their careers.

What we ask of you:

Please ask yourself if you are ready for a challenge before applying. Even in optimal conditions, Start-Ups are hard, and are always a lot of work. What you do week to week will change. If this feels exciting, not concerning, that's a good sign.

This role requires continuous learning and adaptability. We have experienced leaders to guide you, but you should be comfortable with some ambiguity and ready to grow rapidly. If you're excited by the opportunity to develop both technically and professionally in a fast-paced environment, we'd love to hear from you.
