About you

1. We expect you to have built things from 0 to 1 or 1 to 10 (which is typically an early or growth stage startup)
2. Exposure to AI/ML and LLMs is mandatory. You should have written prompts, used AI tools for coding, etc.
3. We don’t read much into your CV; instead, we look at what you have done in your life so far (side projects, open-source contributions, blogs, etc.). We don’t care about degrees, the institutions you went to, or the companies you worked for before. We are open to talking as long as you have put in the reps, good judgment, clarity, align with our values, and have a strong track record of thoughtful work.
4. We expect you to have an extremely strong bias toward action, strong motivation, side projects, and to have built and/or scaled systems from scratch.

Pay and benefits: We offer a solid, competitive package (including early-stage equity). We give you the flexibility to choose the split between cash and equity.

Why you should not join

1. If you want to coast along and do the minimal possible work. The work hours will be intense - we believe in less micro-management and high accountability. It takes a lot of sweat to get a startup off the ground, and you will let the team down if you don’t pull your socks up.
2. If you cannot do intense work every day (with exceptions, of course). The above point talks about the sheer quantity of the work, but this one is more about the quality. We have intentionally kept meetings to a bare minimum, so people can get into their zones and be productive. But if this distracts you and you end up doing half-assed work, then we might not be the right fit for you.
3. If you have low ambition. We believe in hiring ambitious and hard-working folks who will never take no for an answer. We also hire people with strong intrinsic motivation. People who have succeeded so far are the ones who can run with things even without structure and work hard even when no one is watching. People we have had to let go have had issues with motivation, needed babysitting, do fake work to get standup updates out, and cannot handle feedback.
4. If you are not easy-going with the team. We have hired a team of people who are friendly and help each other out. There is zero attitude in the team. We sometimes have conflicting opinions on how things should be done, but at the end of the day we disagree and still commit to doing what moves the company forward.
5. If you cannot be with us in our Chennai office (T.Nagar) at least 4 days a week.
