Build the verification layer the hiring market refused to build.
We're a small, distributed team of operators from Trust & Safety, ML fraud research, labor economics, and consumer journalism. We hire slowly. We publish our work. We tell you the truth about the comp and the workload before you ever talk to a founder.
Three things we won't compromise on.
Bias toward the applicant
Every roadmap call reduces to: does this make the applicant more powerful? If not, we don't ship it.
Receipts over rhetoric
We don't claim impact we can't measure. We publish what we ship, what worked, and what didn't.
Remote, async, written
Distributed across 7 time zones. Decisions live in docs, not Slack threads. Two on-sites per year.
6 positions, all bands public.
