How we work

Ship > talk

Meetings only when writing wouldn't work. Docs before demos. Deploys before slides.

Async first

Everything in Linear + writing. One weekly 60-min sync. Deep-work hours protected.

Senior everywhere

No juniors. Every role expected to own end-to-end. Trust maxed by default.

Public by default

Code, roadmap, incidents, salaries — all public. Confidential only when it must be.

Build for humans

Every feature has a real user. Every metric has a real cause. No vanity theatre.

One email. Include your best work — GitHub, past shipped projects, a technical writeup. Cover letter optional. First response in 48h.
