§ 02 / Four shapes we hire for
The four roles open right now.
Each is real. Each is small. Each is set up so the right person can join, ship something they will be proud of, and decide alongside us whether to stay.
Founding role · fellowship
Engineering · agentic systems
Build the parts of the platform that make it ours: the harness, Helm’s two-sided LLM, the Atelier surfaces, the eval scaffolds, the agentic plumbing. Plain code, careful prompts, and an instinct for the difference between an LLM that answers and one that earns trust. We treat prompts as code and evals as a love language.

Facilitator
Run real cohorts. Write quest spines. Lead Dojo sessions. Hold parent loops. The role is teaching adjacent to coaching — a fellow traveller who has done the work, not a teacher who has read about it. You bring your own quest of some kind to the table; that is what makes the room work.

Operator
Own the bedrock. Schema integrity, deploy hygiene, the worker, observability, the parent and instructor surfaces that orbit the student. Boring code that does not break. The kind of person who reads a Prisma migration and asks, on instinct, what it does to the rows that already exist.

Founding Internship
A founding internship inside the program — twelve weeks, fully remote, daily founder access. Five tracks (Frontier, Atelier, Observatory, Atlas, Polymath), one shipped capstone, an honest answer at week twelve. Conversion path to a founding role for the right candidate.
