The work
What you are actually signing up for
You own the whole thing
Not tasks handed down. You take a problem from the first conversation through to the outcome, and the result is yours to point at.
Our users are scholars
PhD students, postdocs, and professors mid-thesis. They are precise, they are busy, and they will tell you exactly where the product failed them.
Independent and subscription-funded
No investors to perform for and no growth theatre. Research pays our bills, so we are never tempted to sell or mine it.
Calm is the standard
We build for people doing eight-hour reading sessions, and we hold ourselves to the same bar. Deep work over standups.
How we hire
Five steps, about two weeks
No take-home marathons, no unpaid work, no eight-round loop. You will always know which step you are on and what comes next.
-
Step 1
Application
A short form and your work. No cover letter, no portal account to create.
-
Step 2
Reply within a week
Yes or no, either way. Silence is not an answer we give.
-
Step 3
A conversation
45 minutes on your work and ours, with the founder. We name the stipend in this call.
-
Step 4
A short exercise
One small, real piece of work. A few hours at most, and we go through it together.
-
Step 5
Offer
Stipend, hours, and expectations in writing, with room to ask anything before you decide.
