ENGINEER THE
IMMUTABLE.
We don't need "rockstars." We need rigorous systems thinkers to build the infinite infrastructure of tomorrow. This is serious work, done carefully.
02 — The Reality
How work happens.
Thoughtful Pace
We do not rush. Speed is a byproduct of precision. We take the time to understand the problem space fully before writing a single line of code.
Documentation First
Writing is thinking. We use design documents to clarify our thoughts, solicit feedback, and build institutional memory.
Collaboration Norms
We default to asynchronous communication. We respect deep work and minimize interruptions. Meetings are for decisions, not status updates.
Decision Ownership
Decisions are made by the people doing the work. You own the outcome, not just the task. We trust you to make the right call.
03 — Environment
Designed for deep work and clarity.
Global HQs
IND / LDN / NYC
04 — Domains
Areas of Work.
Engineering
Core InfrastructureBuilding the immutable substrate of the network. We work with Rust, C++, and formal methods to ensure absolute correctness.
Product & Design
System InterfaceTranslating complex system constraints into coherent operator interfaces. We design for high-stakes decision making.
Infrastructure & Security
Network DefenseAdversarial thinking applied to infrastructure. We assume compromise and engineer for resilience.
Research & Data
Applied IntelligenceBridging the gap between theoretical capability and production reliability. We engineer intelligence, we don’t just train models.
05 — Ownership
High Agency.
Low Politics.
The DRI Model
Every project has a Directly Responsible Individual. You own the roadmap, the timeline, and the quality. We do not have project managers who chase you.
Decision Traceability
We document the "why" behind every major decision. This allows us to audit our thinking and learn from our mistakes without blame.
Accountability
You are accountable for the outcome, not just the output. Shipping code is not the goal; solving the problem is.
Review Culture
Our review process is rigorous but respectful. We challenge ideas, not people. We believe that friction creates polish.
06 — Growth
The IC Track is not a consolation prize.
We value depth over height. You can progress to the highest levels of the company—equivalent to VP level—as an individual contributor. We do not force engineers to become managers to "advance".
