How we operate
Our operating principles. They are the standard we hold each other to, and the thing interviews are really testing for.
Be a barrel
Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, and operate outside your core role without permission.
Insane urgency
We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
Reason from first principles
Challenge every assumption. No analogy thinking, no egos. The best idea wins.
Love of the game
The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push it forward.
Build something that actually matters
If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.
