How to apply
No AI-generated motivation letter needed. We'd much rather see your GitHub profile or hear about a couple of substantial software projects you've built, the role you played, and an interesting technical challenge you solved (we understand if most of the code you wrote is in internal repositories).
Please apply personally by emailing [email protected], rather than through an automated AI agent. We're interested in hearing from you, not a generated application. We're a small team, so apologies in advance if we can't get back to everyone individually.
