// STAGE 01 — CHOOSE YOUR PATH

We're not just hiring coders.

An organisation that disrupts industries needs builders, storytellers, organisers and designers — not just engineers. Pick every path you can walk. Most of us wear more than one hat, and we'd rather know all of them. Your trials adapt to what you choose.

// STAGE 02 — BRIEFING

Before you decide.

This isn't a job posting. It's a warning label. Decrypt every card below — read what you're actually walking into. Each one you open raises your clearance.

0 / 0 decrypted

// STAGE 03 — THE OFFER

Here's the deal. All of it.

No spin, no fine print buried on page nine. This is exactly what we can and can't offer right now. Read it before you spend another second on the trials — if it's not for you today, no hard feelings.

01

No salary. Yet.

We're pre-revenue. A dozen products sit at ~90% done — unshipped, unadvertised, waiting to earn. Until money comes in, we can't pay wages, and we won't pretend otherwise. If you need a paycheck right now, this isn't the moment — and that's completely fair.

02

Revenue share + attribution

What we can offer today: a real share of revenue and public credit. Your name is on what you help ship. When a product earns, the people who built it earn with it.

03

Paid by receipts

Comp tracks contribution. More work and better results earn a bigger share — measured on output and outcomes, not hours or politics — up to a cap, so it stays fair across the team.

04

Most of it gets reinvested

Revenue funds compute, tools, launches and open-source runway before it funds anyone's lifestyle. We're building an engine, not draining one. The upside comes when it's real.

05

Once you're in, you're in — for life

This is an organisation, not a gig. When income starts flowing, stable and paid positions open — and the people who were here early, back when it was just belief and unshipped code, are first in line.

06

The actual mission

Like-minded people breaking the barriers the industry takes for granted — disrupting industries that got comfortable, and handing the value back to the people instead of locking it behind enterprise gates. That's the whole point. The money is just fuel.

// WHAT WE COVER

You focus on the work — where we can, we pick up the tools and the fuel. Just ask.

◈Claude / Anthropic accounts & tokens
▤Google Colab — paid, on us
▰Pizza & energy drinks
≋Vapes
✦Any other tool or service the work needs — by request
// AI POLICY

Using AI isn't just allowed here — it's the job.

We build with opinionated AI, out in the open. No performative "did you use AI?" guilt — use the best tool and ship the best work. Highly recommended: Claude Opus 4.8 (high) and/or Fable. Otherwise any frontier closed-source model is fine.

★ Claude Opus 4.8 (high) ★ Fable Frontier closed-source — fine

Tick the box to continue — only if it's actually true for you.

// STAGE 04 — CREED CALIBRATION

Where do you actually stand?

You've read what we believe and what we offer. Now we find out if you believe it too. There are no trick answers — both sides of each question are defensible, and plenty of brilliant people sit on the other pole. We're checking fit, not correctness. Answer honestly; a mismatch here saves us both time.

// STAGE 05 — TRIALS

Prove it.

Hands-on trials, tuned to the path(s) you picked. No googling police, no timers breathing down your neck — just problems. Everyone gets one universal trial; each path adds its own. Your score is logged with your application. A low score doesn't lock you out; it just tells us where to start.

Trials complete: 0 / 0
