Job description

You choose which problems are worth solving first, and turn a broad mission into a product people can understand, use and afford. Affordability is part of the product brief rather than a pricing decision made later, because the commitment is that this is free to the person.

The work:

Spend time with users in real workflows and define outcomes before features. Coordinate software, device, service and partner decisions. Measure successful task completion, repeat use, user control and support burden, and keep the roadmap grounded in evidence.

What good looks like:

In your first 90 days, deliver a prioritized pilot problem, acceptance criteria and a tested account of why users would pay for the solution.

Evidence we look for:

Bring product judgment and evidence of taking a complex idea into daily use. Deep technical fluency and careful listening matter more than presentation polish.

Required:

• Product judgement with evidence: you took a complex idea into daily use by real people
• Deep technical fluency, enough to be useful in an architecture discussion
• You listen carefully, and can show a decision that changed because of what you heard
• You can decide what not to build and hold that line

Nice to have:

• Hardware and software together
• You have worked on something with a strong ethical constraint
• Experience taking a product from nothing to its first real users

The exercise:

Choose between two attractive use cases with different security, integration and customer-support costs.

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.
