Careers
Senior. Research-adjacent. On-call together.
We hire deliberately. Most roles are senior, most are research-adjacent, and there is exactly one on-call rotation that engineering, customer engineering, and the runtime team share. The compensation bands are published. The offer letter is the same one your future peers got at the same level.
How we work
Four things that don't move.
Senior, by default.
We hire small numbers of senior people for long tenures. The first ICs and the most recent ICs operate at the same level. Levels matter less than ownership.
Research-adjacent.
Most engineering roles will read papers, run ablations, and co-author when the work warrants it. Most research roles will ship code that lands in customer production.
On-call together.
There is one on-call rotation. Customer engineering, runtime, cluster, and SRE share it. Customers reach the people who shipped the code.
Compensation in writing.
We publish bands. We meet them. We do not reward negotiation; we reward leveling. The offer letter is the same one your future peers got at the same level.
