Job description

Requirements

• We are looking for versatile engineers who are interested in architecting and implementing elegant software solutions and who thrive with the autonomy to propose creative approaches to problems
• Fluent in Python and C or Rust (don’t get hung up on this—being an exceptional software engineer matters above all)
• Experience (and comfortable) with the Linux/Unix systems and command line
• Evidence of exceptional ability in engineering, mathematics, or computer science
• Strong understanding of engineering first principles
• Strong intuition for what matters in a production system (vs. research-grade)
• (Desirable) Prior experience developing software for safety‑critical systems
• You find large challenges exciting and enjoy discovering and defining problems as much as solving them
• You deliver. You may enjoy thoughtful conversations about problems and perfecting design, but in the end, you know that what matters is delivering reliable solutions. (Our ultimate aim is to help people; the “right” solution doesn’t always achieve that)
• You are mission‑driven and goal‑oriented in your approach to solving problems
• You feel a sense of urgency to get things done sooner rather than later—because there is so much we, as people, can contribute to the world and accomplish in this life, it’s a shame to waste time
• You are resourceful, flexible, and adaptable; no task is too big or too small
