**Why you should join us**
* We're building a **research lab with a real-time feedback loop.**
* We're building **AI systems that expand how quickly a small research team can understand, build, and experiment.**
* Our edge is the **speed at which we can form ideas, build systems, run experiments, and learn from reality.**
* You'll work directly with the founders and have **real ownership over what we build and how we build it.**
* We're a small team with over a decade of experience at places like **Optiver, DRW, and Argo AI.**
**What you'll do**
* Build **LLM-powered systems and agent harnesses** that help us research, engineer, and operate faster.
* Design the infrastructure around them: **tools, context, memory, evals, orchestration, observability, and execution environments.**
* Find new ways to turn frontier models into **reliable systems that do useful work.**
* Work across the stack when needed. At our size, **the problem matters more than the job boundary.**
* Own projects end-to-end: identify opportunities, prototype quickly, ship, measure what works, and iterate.
**What we're looking for**
* You have **unusually high initiative**: you notice important problems, figure out what should exist, and make it happen without waiting to be told.
* You're **technically sharp and learn extremely quickly.**
* You've built seriously with **LLMs, agents, harnesses, or adjacent AI infrastructure.**
* You move quickly, reason from first principles, and enjoy problems where **the right architecture has not been figured out yet.**
* You care more about **what works in practice** than following established patterns.
* Curiosity, intensity, and technical judgment matter much more to us than credentials or years of experience.
### Your first 30 days
* **First week:** learn how we work, find something important that could be dramatically better, and start making it better.
* **By 15 days:** take ownership of a meaningful technical problem end-to-end, including deciding what to build and how to measure whether it works.
* **By 30 days:** we want you independently identifying what matters and driving projects that materially increase what the team can do.
You'll have the autonomy and resources to do some of the **best work of your life.**
