About the Role

Join a well-funded AI and robotics startup tackling some of the hardest open problems in the field. This is a senior individual contributor role for engineers who are obsessed with novel, technically difficult challenges - the kind that don't have existing solutions.

• Develop custom Unix OS distributions tailored for both humans and AI agents.

• Rethink UX paradigms using insights from organisational behaviour and human psychology.

• Pursue compounding micro-optimisations across the full stack.

• Work onsite 5 days a week in San Francisco.

What We're Looking For

• Required: Deep obsession with novel, overlooked, or technically unsolved problems.

• Required: Demonstrated ability to build large, complex, and maintainable systems in roughly one-third the time most engineers consider possible.

• Required: Proficiency in one or more of: TypeScript, Rust, Python.

• Required: Experience with graph databases, flexible data pipelines, or ontological modelling.

• Comfort applying psychology and organisational behaviour insights to product and UX decisions.

• Signal of outlier intelligence - top academic background or standout real-world experience (non-traditional backgrounds welcome).

Compensation & Benefits

• Cash compensation: $200,000 - $400,000 USD annually

• Variable equity on top of cash

• Visa sponsorship available
