What matters to us

• Deeply technical: you're deeply opinionated about what good code means, you have an AI-forward setup while being anti-slop, you care deeply about the craft.
• You're creative and have genuine curiosity about 'taste' and making subjective domains verifiable
• You have startup DNA: you move fast, adapt, no such thing as 'not in scope', you like ambiguous, hard problems
• AI experience: you need experience building AI forward products, systems, agents, models and more.
• You care about arriving at the simple, clear solution vs. the complex one

Bonus points

• Open source contributions or personal projects that show you build things because you're curious
• Background at creative companies (Figma, Notion, Canva, Adobe, Runway, etc.) or companies with strong index building/crawling (e.g. Firecrawl, Brave, Luma, Pika) or data (Mercor, Surge, etc.)
