Careers

One open role,

What you'd do

Build the products in our case studies, with the designer sitting next to you. TypeScript most days; whatever the client already runs on the others. You'd talk to users, write the runbook, and be on call for the month after launch.

What we're looking for

  • Five or more years shipping web software that other people depended on
  • Comfortable in the browser and the database; strong in at least one
  • You've changed your mind because of a user test
  • You write clearly — pull requests, docs, the occasional email to a client

What we're not looking for

A specific framework, a degree, or someone who wants to manage people in two years. This is a maker's job and stays one.

How hiring works

  1. 01

    Your application

    A short note and a link to something you built. No cover letter, no form with twenty fields.

  2. 02

    A conversation — 45 min

    With Teo or Mara. About the work you've done and the work we do. You interview us too.

  3. 03

    A paid day

    You spend a day with the team on a real, small problem. We pay your day rate. No whiteboards, no puzzles, no homework.

  4. 04

    An answer within a week

    Yes or no, with reasons either way. The whole thing takes three weeks, not three months.
