We are hiring the people who will make private super agents real

We build private super agents. One per person, running on hardware that person owns, working for them and nobody else. 🤫 Private Agent One is free to every American citizen, and it always will be — which means the revenue never comes from the person, so it cannot come from their data, their attention, or their contacts either.

That is the whole company in three sentences. What follows is what we still need people for.

Why we are writing this now

We have shipped continuously for six months and told almost nobody. Across our repositories that period produced roughly six and a half thousand commits and thirteen hundred merged changes, from seventy-five people. Almost none of it was announced.

That is a real failure, and it is ours. Good work that nobody hears about does not recruit anyone, and it does not honour the people who did it. So we are fixing both halves at once: we are going back through six months of shipped work to tell those stories properly, and we are opening the roles we need to keep going.

What we are actually short of

Protocol, policy and standards. This is the gap that matters most and the one we have staffed least.

We run two protocols. PCHP — the consent handshake that puts a receipt behind every access to a person's data — is live in the product today. hu_ssh is a published design, not shipped code, and we say that plainly on our own site because we corrected ourselves when an earlier post implied otherwise.

A protocol only matters when someone other than its author implements it. Getting there is unglamorous: real specifications, reference implementations, conformance tests, standards-body engagement, and the policy work that makes any of it count with a regulator. We are hiring specification engineers who have written documents other engineers built from, a policy and regulatory lead who can talk to a regulator without inflating what we have, and a developer-relations engineer who owns the first hour someone spends with our protocols.

One thing we will say to that policy lead in the interview, so it is not a surprise: part of the job is telling your own company, in public, that it cannot claim something yet. We hold certifications as *in pursuit* until an assessor says otherwise. If that instinct is not already yours, this will be an uncomfortable place to work.

Forward-deployed engineers. More of these than anything else. An FDE goes where the customer is, installs 🤫 Private Agent One on the hardware they own, and stays until it works. It is the least abstract engineering job we have and the one the founder most likes doing himself.

The people who build the team. We are hiring across every group simultaneously and none of it happens without a head of recruiting. That role comes first because it unlocks the rest of the list. We are also opening a head of inside sales, to reach everyone our door-to-door teams cannot meet in person.

Field sales, door to door. Category-defining products were sold this way first — rooftop solar, the personal computer. No experience required; we train you. Start at your local minimum wage with uncapped bonuses.

Go-to-market leadership. Marketing, sales, revenue operations, partnerships. The roles are on the careers page with what each one owns and what winning looks like.

What it is like

We hold two tests on everything. Would Steve Jobs ship it — clean, simple, the detail obsessed over, nothing extra? Would Charlie Munger call it wise — honest, rational, good judgment rather than clever? Work that fails either is not done.

We are consent-first in the code, not only in the copy. Signing in is not consent. Every sensitive operation carries scoped authority and leaves a receipt. Our brand registry, which decides who may speak for a company, is deliberately empty and stays that way until a real employer is onboarded and its domains confirmed with them — because a wrong entry would hand someone control of another company's public presence.

We would rather ship less and say what is true about it.

If you are at the Stanford AI Summit

We will be there. If any of the above sounds like the job you have been waiting for someone to open, find us and say so. Bring the thing you are proudest of building, especially if it never shipped.

Every role, with what it owns, what it requires, and how success is measured, is at hushh.ai/careers. If you know someone exceptional, our referral programme pays whether or not you work here.

We are building the agent people own. It is a large amount of work and we would like the help.
