WE ARE HIRING

Build the work that
should already exist.

A small London team, eight years of unsexy production evidence, and rather more demand than we can currently service. The shape of a thing we have stopped having to defend.

§ 01 / WHY HERE
The bet you'd be making

A pre-Series-A British AI company that has been in production for eight years.

There aren't many of those. The conventional version of this job offers you stock options against a product that may, hypothetically, exist. Ours offers you the same options against a product that has been quietly working since 2018.

01
Real customers, from day one.

You will not be writing slides about a future where Emily is in production. She is, already. Your work goes straight into the SOC.

02
Operator-built, not consultant-built.

Our founders have spent more time inside a SOC than in front of a deck. The judgement is good. The room is small. The decisions are made quickly.

03
A market that, awkwardly, needs us.

NIS2, DORA, AI Act, post-CrowdStrike caution, US Cloud Act fallout. Six tailwinds at once. We have, by accident, been right about all of them.

§ 02 / HOW WE WORK
A few things that are true.

Small team. Asynchronous by default.

A
Evidence-led, in both directions.

We make decisions from telemetry. We also make decisions about the team from telemetry — who's overloaded, what's stuck, where the work is hardest. The data, on the whole, is generous.

B
Asynchronous, with deliberate presence.

We meet on purpose, not by default. We write more than we Zoom. The London office is open for whoever wants it; nothing requires you to be there to ship.

C
Engineering is a customer-facing craft.

Our engineers spend time with our SOC clients. The roadmap is built from real visits, not user-research transcripts. Werner is rather strict about this.

D
No vanity headcount.

We will not hire to look real. We will hire when the work cannot be done without the person. This is, broadly, a deliberate choice.

§ 03 / OPEN ROLES
Currently hiring

Six roles, open now.

If your role isn't listed and you think you'd be useful, the unsolicited inbox is open and read by a human.

§ 04 / APPLICATION

No portal, no algorithmic filter, no take-home test we wouldn't sit ourselves.

Email a short note explaining what you'd want to work on, and a link to anything you'd like us to read. We reply, and we reply quickly.
