Work on what matters. Work on what matters.
We are a team of engineers, researchers, and operators on a mission to accelerate embodied AI.
01 / how we work
This is the part most companies are less transparent about. We will try not to.
We are relentlessly truth seeking. If you say something, expect someone to push on it within a minute. If you cannot defend it, that is information. About the idea, and about you. The point is not to win. The point is that we do not have time to be polite to bad ideas.
We hold each other to a high bar, and that includes friends. We have let people go who we loved working with because the bar mattered more than the comfort. If that sounds harsh, it is. The alternative, protecting people from honest assessment, is worse for them and worse for the work.
We move quickly, sometimes uncomfortably so. Decisions that take other companies a quarter take us a Tuesday. This is not a virtue in itself. It is the only way the math works.
We are in the office. Often late. Often on weekends. Not because anyone is checking. Because the work is the point, and the people who feel that do not need to be told.
Half of what we are doing has to be invented as we go. In operations, in legal, in finance, in product. If you want a playbook, you will be miserable. If you would rather write the playbook, you will be fine.
We do not optimize for harmony. We optimize for being right, fast.
02 / who we hire
We have looked at hundreds of resumes with the right schools and the right companies. Most of those people have never actually built anything. We have stopped weighting the logos.
The people who work here look more like this. Ranked chess players. Competitive esports careers that ate their teenage years. High school and university dropouts who found something more interesting to do and were right to leave. Builders of strange side projects nobody asked for. Bots, scrapers, mods, hardware experiments, businesses that almost worked. Teenagers who hacked their way into Fortune 500 systems before they could legally drink.
The pattern is not the credential. The pattern is obsessive, unsupervised output. Someone who spent ten thousand hours getting unreasonably good at something nobody made them do. That person we understand. Whether the thing was chess, Counter-Strike, a kernel patch, or a teenage exploit, the shape is the same.
A few other things we look for. You change your mind when shown a better argument, and you notice when others do not. You are unembarrassed about being ambitious. The word makes most professional environments uncomfortable. It does not make us uncomfortable. You can hold the possibility that the company fails, and want to be here anyway.
We read your resume. The real question is what you did when nobody was watching.
