We hire principal engineers. That's it.

Small teams, deep work, customers whose mistakes make the news. We don't hire to scale headcount — we hire when there is a specific seat that needs a specific person.

Three conversations. No leetcode.

A 30-minute intro, a 90-minute working session on a real problem from one of our deployments, and a values check with a founder. We tell you what we think within a week.

• Top-of-band salary, banded transparently.
• Equity that vests on outcomes, not on tenure.
• A learning budget that's actually used.
• The architect who hired you stays in the room.
