Careers
A small lab. Hiring when funded.
We do not post jobs ahead of time. Once we are funded, we will hire a few people at a time, for the work in front of us.
01
Proof over polish
We only say what you can check.
02
Honest limits
A small test stays a small test. A plan stays a plan.
03
Publish either way
We share what failed, too.
04
See it through
Take a problem from the first question to a result with proof.
No open jobs today.
