About Librar Labs

We're a small group of engineers who can figure out anything.

All of us live in the office, and work 24/7.

We care uncomfortably much about beauty in what we build, how we write, and the way a thing is finished. And we are curious in a way that doesn't really switch off.

We hold a very high bar for ourselves and for each other, and we don't ship things we aren't proud of.

We try to keep the team as small as we can for as long as we can. Everyone sees everything. The distance between the newest person and the most experienced one is zero.

We are not hiring for the next year or two. We are hiring people who will stay for a decade, and who will become the best possible version of themselves while they are here. That is the deal, in both directions.
