Exceptional Person: Role Shaped Around You

Open Full-time NYC

About Studio

Studio is building the self-actualization company: software tools and AI-powered experiences that help people change their lives, powered by the expertise of world-class creators.We're a small, exceptional team at the bleeding edge of AI — shipping wildly fast, learning constantly, and having fun. Reach out if you want to shape the future of how creators thrive and people self-actualize.

About the role

We believe the best teams are built around exceptional people — not predefined roles.If you're someone remarkable who doesn't fit neatly into our existing job descriptions, this role is for you.At Studio, we like to hire for people, not shapes. We look for exceptional, multi-faceted individuals and then shape roles around their unique mix of skills, interests, and strengths. Many of our most impactful contributors defy categorization — polymaths, generalists with deep spikes, or specialists with unexpected breadth.If you're excited by what we're building but don't see yourself reflected in our listed roles, we want to hear from you. Tell us what makes you exceptional, how you'd love to contribute, and why Studio is the place you want to build. We're genuinely excited by people who think differently about the value they bring.

What you'll do

• You tell us — what would you love to own and drive forward?
• Contribute across multiple domains based on your unique skill set
• Help shape Studio’s culture, processes, and direction as we grow
• Spot opportunities that others might miss and take initiative to pursue them
• Work closely with the founders and team members to create outsized impact

Requirements

• You've done something exceptional — built, created, or mastered something remarkable
• You're deeply curious and constantly learning across multiple domains
• You have a clear sense of what you're great at and how you can contribute
• You can articulate why Studio specifically resonates with you
• High ownership mentality — you see things through and make things happen
• Based in NYC or willing to relocate (in-person role)

Nice to have

• You've founded something, led something, or built something from scratch
• You have an unusual combination of skills that creates unique value
• You have strong opinions about how things should work and the will to make them happen

We particularly like people who are

• Driven to seek good explanations — you often find yourself creating new theories of how things work or should work
• Able to see the full picture — you think holistically about how every detail interconnects with seemingly unrelated things
• Multidisciplinary and creative — you think across domains, connect unexpected ideas, and turn them into new possibilities
• Low-ego in the pursuit of truth — you care more about what's right than who's right
• Builders who ship fast — you know velocity is a competitive advantage and that momentum compounds. You've founded something before or dream of starting your own company someday.

The team

Our team is insanely talent-dense — and we believe in keeping it that way. In this AI-powered world, we believe in small teams with exceptional, multidisciplinary people with high leverage.The majority of our team are previous VC-backed startup founders. Some of us are also Guinness World Record holders, Grandmasters of Memory, artists with millions of Spotify streams, an award-winning drag queen, an engineer who scored a perfect law school LSAT score, a competitive blindfolded Rubik's Cube solver, an expert knitter, and writers whose blogs reach millions.We care less about resumes and more about people who've built, created, or mastered something remarkable.
