We hire rarely, and read everything
We are not running a general hiring process, and we would rather say that than keep a page of roles open that nobody is reading. When we do make room, it is for one of three shapes of person — and a good speculative letter has started more of our conversations than a job advert ever would.
Nothing open right now.
When that changes it will be listed here rather than announced somewhere else, and it will say what the work is before it says what we want from you. In the meantime the letter below reaches both partners and gets read by both of them.
Data engineering, in someone else's estate
You have built ingestion and models against systems you did not choose, in environments you do not control, where the source is a PDF as often as it is an API. You are unbothered by reconciliation work and you know why lineage matters before an auditor asks.
Applied AI, with a person still holding the pen
You have put extraction and drafting in front of people who are accountable for the output, and you have learned where that goes wrong. You can tell the difference between a demo that impresses and a workflow somebody uses in week nine without thinking about it.
From the desk, not from the vendor
You have worked inside a family office, a fund or an administrator, and you have personally done the collation this firm exists to remove. You do not need the problem explained, and you can tell us when we have described it wrong.
- You are on the work, with the client, from the first week — there is no delivery layer to be handed down to.
- The engagement list is short on purpose, so you are on one or two things properly rather than six badly.
- You build inside the client's environment and leave the IP with them, which means the craft has to be in the work rather than in a moat.
- Everything we ship is reviewable, and you will be asked to defend a figure to somebody's board.
One email, to the address below. Tell us something you built that is still in use, what it replaced, and what you would do differently now. A link beats a CV, and a paragraph about a problem you actually solved beats both.
