00 / Careers
We hire the way we ship.
We are not building a roadshow. We are building a small company that works on a small number of products properly. If that sounds like the place you would rather be — write to us.
01 / What it is like
Three things you can expect from us.
01
Small team, real ownership.
You will own surface area, not tickets. Every engineer here has products in production they personally maintain.
02
Remote-first, Canada-anchored.
We are headquartered in Ontario and work remotely across time zones. Synchronous when it matters, written by default.
03
Honest about the trade-offs.
We are small. The compensation is fair, the upside is patient, and the work is genuinely interesting. We do not pretend otherwise.
02 / Open searches
No public listings, always interested.
We do not run continuous open roles. We do speak with strong candidates in the areas below — and we move quickly when the fit is real.
- Applied AI / model engineering↗
- Quantitative product work↗
