You make the hardware, the operating system, the private data, the agent and remote execution behave as one dependable product rather than five that were introduced to each other late. You set architecture and engineering priorities with the founder, establish one authoritative agent identity and policy domain per person, and own the tradeoffs nobody else can make. This is the technical spine of a claim we make publicly: that a person can own a computer they trust with their working life.
Open for applications. Starts at: First team.
We are taking applications for this role now and building the pipeline for it. The stage above is when the work itself is expected to begin, which is something you deserve to know before you apply rather than after. It is context, not a gate.
Where
In the office together five days a week, in one of our garages, and remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time. We hire across the United States 🇺🇸, India 🇮🇳 and the UAE 🇦🇪.
The work
Set the architecture and engineering priorities with the founder. Establish one authoritative agent identity and policy domain per person, review tradeoffs in public within the team, and build alongside the engineers. Define which components we create, adopt or develop with partners.
The milestone
In your first 90 days, deliver a working reference system, a threat model and a funded delivery plan with named owners and measurable release criteria.
Required
Nice to have
Evidence
Bring deep systems judgment and evidence that you have shipped complex products across organizational boundaries. Explain a major failure, the evidence that changed your view and the people you helped develop.
Evidence, not credentials. We are describing work you can point at, in whatever form it exists.
The exercise
Walk through a system you built, then design recovery after the user's primary computer is lost.
The package
Indicative pay ranges by market and level are on the compensation page. Plan numbers are confirmed in your offer letter.
Apply
One short form. A person reads every application and you hear back either way. You will get your own link to check where things stand, and you can withdraw or delete your application from it at any time, without an account.
