Who You’ll Work With

We are an international and dynamic team of software engineers, researchers, designers, marketers, and more. We are based in New York and Toronto, working hybrid with well-stock snack bars and team lunch.

Our team comes from high-performing engineering cultures, including Perplexity, Meta, Uber, Microsoft AI, Affirm, and leading AI research labs, including Princeton, Caltech, Vector, Layer6, and MILA. We approach our work with curiosity, purpose, and speed. We have a non-hierarchical, low-ego culture where anyone can come up with ideas for the next product! We ship fast and prioritize putting new ideas in front of our users. Everyone works and interacts with everyone. Everyone is free to attend meetings across product functions, whether it's diving into designs or dropping into our ML learning groups.

We host team retreats 2-3 times a year, focused on collaboratively coming up with new products and features together (hackathon-style), and team bonding activities in nature. Some activities we like to do together: Avalon/board games, karaoke, pickleball, chatting around a campfire, mushroom foraging, salsa dancing, and so much more!

Values

Velocity over Speed

We are not here to chase vanity metrics. Impact in the wild is more important than hacking metrics in the lab.

Tutikole: Bias towards Action

We have a fire under our butt! We are focused and driven in our work, and make sure to unblock each other.

Horizontal Structure

We encourage contributions and ideas regardless of seniority. This may not be the place for you if you want to avoid hands-on work.

Accountability and Honesty

We are honest about mistakes and raise up when we were wrong or something did not work out.

Project Ownership

We take ownership end-to-end for the work we do. We take responsibility for our work and craft it to exceptional standards.

Listening first

We listen to communicate more effectively. To understand context and understand how we can deliver value to other people.
