Jobs & Opportunities channel
Real work, matched to what you can show you have built.
Many strong engineers here are hired through who they know, not what they can do, and remote roles abroad are open but hard to reach. This channel puts members’ work in front of people who are hiring.
Open to every member. Join now and help shape what it builds next.
What we work on
Four problems define this community’s work right now. Every sprint, review and essay here comes back to one of them.
Roles and referrals
Full-time roles posted by hiring partners, and warm introductions from members already inside.
Freelance and contract work
Short engagements that build income and a portfolio at the same time.
Remote work abroad
Getting hired by international teams: contracts, payments, time zones and interviews.
Co-founder matching
Finding the technical or business partner a new company needs.
Questions we are working through
No one has settled these yet. They come up in every sprint, and members argue them out in essays and reviews.
- What makes a portfolio convince a hiring manager in under a minute?
- How do you get paid fairly and on time by a client abroad?
- When is a startup offer worth more than a stable salary?

From the field
All essays · 26 min of reading- Start with the decision, not the modelMost AI projects that stall were never wrong about the model. They were vague about the decision the model was meant to improve. How to start from the decision, with a worked example.
- Retrieval before fine-tuning: making an LLM answer from your own documentsIf you want a language model to answer from your company's documents, start with retrieval, not training. A worked example, from the first document to the first honest measurement.
- Test your AI feature like you would test a payments flowNobody ships a payments change because it looked fine in a demo. AI features deserve the same discipline. A worked example of building an evaluation suite your team will actually use.

- Equity
- A share of the company, often offered by startups instead of part of a salary.
