COMPANY · CAREERS

Make a thing
worth being proud of,
over years.

We’re hiring slowly, in Hamilton and remote. We don’t pretend to be a family. We do try to be a place where the work is good, the people are kind, and the pay is fair without theatre.

Why here

Four honest reasons.

The product is the thing

We’re not pivoting next quarter. We’re not building a platform to sell to a larger platform. We are making one social network, well, for a long time. Your work compounds.

Small enough to matter

Twenty-two people. Your work is visible, your input changes things, your name is on the PR. There’s no five-step ladder to influence.

Slow on purpose

We don’t do crunch. We don’t do weekend launches. We don’t do the “mission” rhetoric. We do four-day work weeks in July and August, and we mean it.

Useful, by design

If you have ever worked on a feature you weren’t sure was good for users, you might find the absence of that feeling refreshing here. We don’t ship things we wouldn’t recommend to a friend.

Open roles

Currently hiring.

Six open positions. We hire one or two a quarter. Closing dates are approximate — we’ll keep listings up until we’ve made an offer someone accepted.

The process

How hiring works here.

01 · Application
One short form. A résumé is fine. A few links are better. Don’t write a cover letter — we’ll ask one question at the next stage.
02 · Written question
A short, role-specific written response. Forty-five minutes of your time, on your schedule. Read by two people.
03 · Conversation
One call, an hour, with the hiring manager. We ask about your work, you ask about ours. No trick questions. No live coding.
04 · Practical
A small project on your own time, two to four hours. Paid at $200/hr, in advance, with a guarantee we’ll use it as a portfolio piece even if you don’t join.
05 · References
Two references, your choice, your timing. We call them. We tell them what you said about the role.
06 · Decision
Within five business days of the final interview. If no, we tell you why, in writing, in two paragraphs.
Benefits

The basics, done well.

Pay

Bands are published for every role. We pay at the 75th percentile of the market. No equity-instead-of-salary jokes.

Equity

Every hire gets meaningful equity. We’ll explain the cap table to you in plain language during the offer call.

Time off

Five weeks plus statutory holidays. A two-week shutdown in late December. We track it, so we can encourage you to take it.

Health

Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, mental health support. Annual physical paid. Therapy, no questions.

Summer hours

Four-day weeks through July and August. The fifth day exists; you just don’t have to be here.

Sabbatical

One paid month after every three years. Genuinely off. We do not call.
