What to expect if you join us

• You will always work on the most important problem. We always strive to tackle the most important challenge, and we prioritize to make effective use of our time.
• You will never do the same thing twice. Do it once, learn, systematize, automate, upgrade. We are exponential.
• You will never work on a problem that should have been prevented. Prioritize, execute, and prevent future problems.
• You will systematize or document most things. Creating systems checks if you really understand what you're doing, allows others to analyze for improvements, and means the entire team upgrades together.
• You will make mistakes. That’s okay. This is how we learn. Prevent the mistake from happening again.
• You will be empowered and encouraged to act with creativity. We have no limits. Every team member is empowered to upgrade our collective intelligence with new ideas. Act with moxie. Act with creativity. Act with inspiration.

Invisible culture

The culture is imbued with romantic capitalist values. These are just a few:

Heroism Be insanely ambitious. You should want your boss’s job. You have a moral obligation to seek power and use it for good. The modern knight fights abstract dragons.

Challenge Welcome adversity, struggles, and suffering. Steel yourself for the worst. Challenge problems to a duel. Seek the widest possible stage for your talents.

Meritocracy Create and measure the value you create. Strive to be the best.

Ownership You are the CEO until told otherwise.

Collaboration Solving problems together benefits everyone.

Competition If you outperform, you will be rewarded.

Glory Do the great work of your life, here and now, the work that you were made for, and that you will be remembered for. Seek your aristeia moment.

Truth Seek the truth. Express yourself freely. Confront problems head-on. Be as transparent as possible. Don’t hide the bad and the ugly. Stand up for your opinion by engaging in debate. Change your mind when you’re wrong.

Intensity Work hard. Don’t waste time. The more fully you absorb yourself in your work, the more aggressively you work and the better you work.

Join Our Team - THIS IS A FULL-TIME REMOTE POSITION

Do it because you want to do something on the edge of hard and impossible. Do it if you are the unstoppable force seeking an immovable object. You want to see what you’re made of. Do it if you want to test your limits: your ability to create order in chaos, to operate under extreme stress, to achieve impossible goals…

Do it because you personally want a synthetic intelligence. Do it because you want to solve the biggest problem in the world: wasted time. Do it if you want humans to spend less time doing robotic jobs, and more time being creative and strategic.
