Job summary

HushOne, Inc. is seeking a candidate who can articulate a concrete proposal addressing a real user problem. You will describe the technical insight you bring and outline a bounded project to test viability, with evidence of depth in a relevant area.

The role emphasizes clear reasoning accessible to non-specialists, and a specific, testable plan rather than generic interest. You should welcome critique and be ready to iterate based on feedback.

Responsibilities

• Describe a user problem, the technical insight you bring and a bounded project that could establish whether the idea is useful.
• Evidence of depth in something relevant, in whatever form it exists
• You can make your reasoning understandable to someone outside your field
• A specific proposal rather than a general interest in working here
• Willingness to have the idea questioned

Job description

If an important part of this mission is missing from our list, help us see it. This is a genuine route rather than a form for people who did not find a match: tell us what you would do and why it matters, and we will work out whether there is a role in it.

The work:

Describe a user problem, the technical insight you bring and a bounded project that could establish whether the idea is useful. Relevant work may span mathematics, robotics, accessibility, materials, scientific computing or another discipline that changes the product.

What good looks like:

The first milestone is a jointly scoped problem and a decision about a specific role or collaboration. Joining the talent community does not itself create an employment offer.

Evidence we look for:

Bring evidence of depth and the ability to make your reasoning understandable. A paper, prototype, design, maintained system or carefully explained independent project can all be valuable.

Required:

• Evidence of depth in something relevant, in whatever form it exists
• You can make your reasoning understandable to someone outside your field
• A specific proposal rather than a general interest in working here
• Willingness to have the idea questioned

Nice to have:

• A paper, prototype, design, or maintained system we can look at
• A carefully explained independent project
• A view on what we are getting wrong

The exercise:

Tell us what you would build, what would count as success and what evidence could persuade you to stop.

How we work:

We work together in the office, five days a week, and you can be based at any of our garages: Kirkland Garage (Kirkland, WA); UAE Garage (Dubai, Dubai). We hire across the United States, India and the UAE. We are remote-friendly around family: if you need to work from home some days to look after the people you love, we arrange that with you one person at a time, and we encourage people to use it rather than tough it out.

Pay:

We publish what we pay. Indicative ranges by market and level are on our compensation page, and they are realistic going market rates rather than headline numbers. Wherever we hire we pay at least the local market rate, and for full‑time roles our floor is a living wage, never the statutory minimum. Compensation is reviewed every year and on promotion.

Equity:

Every full‑time teammate gets stock options. Four-year vesting with a one-year cliff, sized to role, level and impact, and confirmed in writing at offer. High performers earn refresh grants.

Bonus and commission:

An annual performance bonus tied to clear company and personal goals, indicatively 10 to 20 percent of base for non-sales roles. Customer-facing roles carry on-target earnings, typically a 50/50 split of base and variable, with uncapped commission and accelerators above quota.

Health and peace of mind:

Medical, dental and vision for you and your family, plus life and disability cover. We have chosen the highest plan tier available to us rather than the cheapest one that clears the bar, because the point of this is that you never have to think about it. The specific plan numbers are confirmed in your offer letter.

401(k) with company matching:

A 401(k) with a company match, so the years you spend here compound into something that is yours whatever happens next. The match formula is confirmed in your offer letter.

AI tokens:

A budget of AI tokens of your own, because a company that says you should own your AI cannot be the company that rations it. Use them on the work and on whatever you are curious about.

Gym, and the everyday things:

A gym membership, and a corporate benefits programme with its own app, where you redeem real discounts with a long list of retailers on the ordinary purchases of a life.

Family:

We are remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time, and we would rather you took it than toughed it out.

Referrals:

Refer someone we hire full‑time who stays a year and you get $1,000 plus $10,000 in referral stock-based equity, on top of your own package.
