The work
For engineers who want to ship, not slide-ware
We're the team that gets called when AI has to actually work. If you'd rather solve production problems than present about them, read on.
What you'll build
Systems that survive contact with reality
Agents working real queues, RAG over messy enterprise data, platforms teams build on — with the eval, observability and guardrail engineering that makes them last. The hard, satisfying part of AI.
- Production AI across ten-plus industries
- Full-stack: models, infra, integration, UX
- Problems where the demo is the easy part

I came from a place where I demoed AI. Here I ship it — to real users, with real stakes. The craft bar is the highest I've worked at, and it's set by peers, not process.
FAQ
Common questions
Is this remote?
Remote-friendly across time zones, with async-first practices. Some client work benefits from occasional travel or on-site sessions.
What's the interview process?
A conversation, a practical exercise reflecting real work (not leetcode theater), and time with the team. We're evaluating how you think and build, not how you memorize.
Do you sponsor visas / hire internationally?
It varies by role and location — apply and we'll be straight with you about what's possible.
I'm strong but not AI-specialized. Worth applying?
Yes — strong engineers who care about craft learn our patterns fast. The mindset matters more than the acronyms on your resume.
