Attitudes

We don't care what your current job title is, how long you've been working, or whether you have a CS degree. We do care about you being tightly aligned with our operating principles:

• You're competitive and love to win. You're competitive and are always looking for an edge. You have a high bar (some would say "unrealistic") for yourself and those you work with.
• You do whatever it takes. You're willing to do what others won't to achieve what others can't. What we're doing is hard. Really hard. Sacrifices are required in the pursuit of greatness, and we're chasing greatness.
• Founder-level ownership. If something breaks, you fix it. If there's an opportunity, you chase it. You (and we) never say "that's not my job".
• Curiosity with teeth. You don't just ask why something isn't working — you dig until you know, then you ship a fix.
• You ask for forgiveness, not permission.
• You're a self-starter. You love being in the weeds and rolling up your sleeves to get things done. You never let roadblocks get in the way of getting things done; the laws of physics alone dictate what you can do.
• You have excellent analytical skills. The term 'quantitative rigour' gets you excited. You love using data to help identify problems, discover opportunities, and substantiate your ideas.

Who this role is right for

• Product-minded engineers who want to own outcomes, not close tickets — you'd rather be judged on whether the feature worked than on story points
• Someone who's already made AI central to how they build — Claude Code, Cursor or similar is your daily driver, and it's made you faster and more ambitious, not sloppier
• Someone comfortable sitting with a non-technical stakeholder, turning a fuzzy ask into a scoped build, and pushing back when the ask isn't the real problem
• Generalists who are energized (not exhausted) by switching between businesses, codebases and domains

Who this role is not right for

• People who want a stable, predictable or repetitive role/set of tasks
• People looking for active mentorship (i.e. you'd rather have someone tell you exactly what to do vs. figure it out on your own)
• People who are excited about building and managing a team vs handing the details themselves
• People who find comfort in following a playbook
• People who don't want to be in the weeds, spending hours querying a database and slicing the data to find new insights and hypotheses to test
• People who prefer stability over speed or "strategy over execution"

Logistics/Next Steps

• Process: everyone will hear back within 3 days of applying. Our process involves calls with 2-3 members of our team. You'll also complete 1-day working session (paid, on-site in Toronto, if you're outside of Toronto we'll fly you in).
• Work Setup: we operate Remote-first with some time spent In-Person together throughout the year as needed.
• Working Hours: we trust team members to manage their own schedules and believe that taking time off to recharge makes you more productive in the long run. That said, we’re early enough that everyone’s work makes a big difference on the company’s trajectory. As a result, our team finds hard work fulfilling when we know it will be impactful.
