Careers

Build the tool
you wish you'd had

We're a small team in Astana and remote across Eurasia, writing Rust and Python for people who debug things that move. The core is open source, so most of our work is public.

How we work

Four things we actually do

Not aspirations — descriptions. If any of these sound bad to you, we'd rather you find out now.

01

We ship in public

Most pull requests land in a public repository, and most design discussions happen in issues anyone can read. It's slower on the day and much faster over a year.

02

Performance is a feature we own

Frame budgets are tracked per release. A change that costs 2 ms needs a reason, and "we'll optimize later" is not one of them.

03

We use what we build, daily

Everyone here has instrumented a real system with the SDK. Bugs get found because they annoyed an engineer on a Tuesday, not because a dashboard flagged them.

04

Async first, but not always

Written decisions, few standing meetings, and two on-site weeks a year in Astana that everybody attends. Travel and time are on us.

Process

What applying looks like

Four steps, typically three weeks, and we tell you where you stand after each one. No take-home longer than four hours, and we pay for it.

Intro call — 30 min

What you've built, what you want next, what we're actually like.

Technical conversation — 60 min

A real problem from our backlog, discussed. No whiteboard algorithms.

Paid work sample

A scoped task in the domain you'd own, on your own schedule.

Team day

Meet everyone you'd work with, ask the awkward questions, get an offer within 48 hours.

Benefits

The practical stuff

Equity for everyone

Options with a ten-year exercise window, so leaving doesn't cost you what you earned.

Real time off

Six weeks minimum, tracked to make sure people take it.

Hardware you pick

Any machine, any monitor, plus a GPU workstation if you're on rendering.

Parental leave

Six months full pay, regardless of which parent you are or where you live.

Learning budget

€2,500 a year, no approval needed, conferences included.

Health cover

Comprehensive in every country we employ in, including dental and mental health.

Home setup

€1,500 to start plus a co-working stipend if you'd rather not be home.

Open-source time

One day a fortnight on anything open source, including projects that aren't ours.

Get in touch

Say hello

Applications, sales questions, docs corrections, or a recording that broke the viewer — it all reaches a human.
