Work with the world's most effective developers, data scientists, designers, and leaders who are shaping the future of humanity.
Join our team and make an impact.
Who we hire
We hire the world's most effective technical talent
We have high standards.
We surround ourselves with top performers who inspire and challenge each other to do their best. Our team is made up of people who are passionate about their craft and eager to work with others who do the same. If you love working alongside talented, motivated teammates, you'll love it here.
Most of the people at our company are the smartest people we know. We also get to work with great people at Anthropic, DARPA, and UK AISI to have a transformative positive impact on some of the biggest technical problems facing humanity.
You should work here if:
• You are exceptional at what you do
• You make your teammates better and they love you for it
• You get things done and get better while you're at it
• You bring a founder level mentality to everything you do
• You treat your work with the love and care you would give your own start-up
• You love solving problems for customers, users, and humans everywhere
You should work here if:
• You can balance maker vs manager time, and produce value during both
• You communicate effectively
• Clients & your team mates will love you (rather than just tolerate you)
• You're less enamored with intricate code than with creating value
• You want to work with the most innovative clients in the world and on the innovative projects we incubate internally
This is how we work:
Remote Work
Have more freedom, more time. But we also have offices that you can work in, and we do like to interact with people and clients in person.
Flexible Schedules
Work out a schedule that fits with your team and you're good to go. We know that forcing night owls to start work at 6am isn't the best for productivity.
One on One
Short weekly meeting where you can talk about various things. You can find ways to grow, share feedback, improve processes, and share exciting things that you're working on.
Highly Collaborative
We help each other out. We have a network of amazing developers and data scientists working on different projects who are always willing to share their knowledge. There are no egos here.
Agile Product Focused
Effective communication & collaboration that's not annoying and actually helps get work done. Our processes work, and they make sure you constantly know you're headed in the right direction.
Clean Code
Separation of Concerns, Don't Repeat Yourself, Avoid Mental Mapping, Unambiguous Names, and more. These are just some of the things we do to make our code great to work on right now and in the future.
Some perks of the job:
Multi-Company Equity Plan
We receive equity from amazing clients whose MVPs we help assemble (and who we help raise their next round). We also generate equity from the Skunkworks projects we incubate. Every year, we share some of this equity with our team as "profit interests."
Company Retreats
Once or twice a year, we try to gather the team together and we have a lot of fun with drinks, Hackathons, and other team activities. But don't be scared, we are aware of the introverts!
Becoming a founder
Our clients offer an incredible perspective on the landscape of development and data science. When client work shines a spotlight on opportunities to increase human agency with technology, AE's employees can found startups internally, often with the first customer already sold!
Equity in Different Baskets
Rather than putting all your eggs in one basket, become a mini-VC (as long as you are part of the AE team) and earn additional equity each year. Our team doesn't ride out 12-18 months until their equity vests so they can quit… they continue building amazing, agency-increasing tools for themselves, our clients, and humanity.
Unique Equity Model
And remember, the number of client projects and incubated skunkworks grows as a function of the number of AE team members. The upside is large. The risk is diversified. The model is unique.
Incubated Skunkworks
These incubated Skunkworks projects offer founder-level equity to those who build them and additional equity to all AE employees. Found a startup where you know your co-founders are phenomenal, your product is desired, and your support network is an incredible team of experienced founders, developers, data scientists, and designers!
