  • Free-market rigor Ideas rise or fall on merit and results - no committees, no politics, no cap on upside.
  • Full-stack ownership You design, build, and run what you ship; accountability is a feature, not a bug.
  • Reward for contribution Pay rises with impact, not years. Outstanding results earn outsized rewards. We evaluate both what you achieve and how you achieve it : living our leadership principles and using AI effectively are formally measured and rewarded.
  • Relentless exploration Push the frontier of generative AI in live learning and - because only the paranoid survive - questioning every legacy assumption along the way.
  • Is Apolitical You stay focused on mission-aligned outcomes, not distractions or unrelated causes.

If you're a technically minded builder who thrives on open competition, personal responsibility, and the chance to redefine how the world learns - while continually stretching the limits of what generative AI can do - come do the most ambitious and rewarding work of your career here.
