In this post, you'll find out what qualities make someone a great fit for our team. If you're curious about whether you're the right person for the job, keep reading. Here’s a tip: it's not just about your qualifications. It's about your attitude, your passion for new ideas, and how quickly you can adapt.
Think You’ve Got What It Takes to Join Us? Let’s Find Out.
Before you even think about applying, ask yourself: do you check all these boxes?
• Can you adapt quickly to rapid changes and challenges without losing momentum?
• Are you driven to create, push boundaries, and continuously improve?
• Do you have a side project that shows your skills in a way a 30 minute interview wouldn’t?
• Have you dabbled in building AI Agents with frameworks like Crew AI or Autogen? Or if you’ve rolled your own with instructor, we won’t judge you.
If you said yes to these then you’re the person we’re looking for. If not, it might be a good idea to work on those skills first. While everyone can apply, we’re really looking for people who excel in a dynamic, high-growth startup. Ready for the challenge? Let’s dive into what we’re looking for.
Startup Reality Check: Are You Built for It?
Are you a startup person?
When we are thinking about hiring new people, that is the first thing we ask ourselves. Being employed by a startup demands passion, drive, and adaptability; it's not just a job. Some people know what startup life is really like, others only know it in theory.
The idea of working for a startup is often romanticized. They envision a relaxed setting that is brimming with inventiveness, adaptability, and the thrill of creating something fresh. Although those aspects of startup life are undoubtedly present, there is another aspect that calls for extreme resilience, adaptability, and the capacity to deal with unpredictability.
We seek candidates who have experienced firsthand the dynamic, constantly evolving world of startups in our organization. You're definitely someone we should speak with if you understand what it's like—the stresses and excitement of it all.
Side Projects Matter
Having side projects or having built something yourself is something we always check for. For what reason? Because it demonstrates initiative and ownership – the two qualities we highly respect. Rather than just piling on more work, you should take on side projects to show off your inner creativity, problem-solving, and innovative spirit.
Maybe you’ve already launched a small business or you’re constantly trying out ideas outside of your job. We don’t just want employees. We want people who have an entrepreneurial mindset. The dreamers, the builders, and the self-starters are the kind of people who do well here.
Agentic Workflows: If You Know, You Know
It gets a little technical here, but this is crucial. We are seeking individuals that can discuss, execute, and even create dynamic workflows. If you've used AI technologies such as Crew AI or Autogen, you may have encountered this. Better yet? If you’ve built your own framework with something like instructor or experimented with these concepts on your own, then you’re exactly who we want to talk to. We’re looking for people who will experiment, push the boundaries and innovate in their spare time – not because they have to but because they want to.
Why We Value Failure
Failure isn’t a sign of incompetence—it shows you're trying something new, pushing boundaries, and experimenting with fresh ideas. If you’re always playing it safe, you’re not growing, and neither is the company.
Failure gives you some of the best learning experiences. It builds resilience, adaptability, and creative problem-solving—skills that are key in a startup. When something doesn’t work, the real question is: What did you learn, and how will you improve next time?
We look for people who have taken risks, faced setbacks, and learned from them. If you’ve failed in previous roles, built a project that didn’t work out, or tried something that didn’t go as planned, that’s not a red flag for us—it’s a green light. It shows you’re not afraid to try, fail, and come back stronger. If you’ve never failed, you probably haven’t pushed yourself hard enough. We don’t just want to hear about your successes—we want to know about the risks you took and the lessons you learned when things didn’t go as expected.
Culture Fit and Values
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how skilled or experienced you are—you still need to align with the values and culture of our organization. In addition to working hard, we're a close-knit group of people that encourage one another. We cannot compromise on respect, teamwork, or a common passion for our goal.
Does This Sound Like You?
If these qualities resonate with you, if you live for innovation, and if you thrive in a fast-moving environment where ownership and initiative are prized above all, then we’d love to hear from you.
