Jobs

Making things simple can be pretty complicated sometimes and we would love the help of brilliant people like you. All of these positions require people who are skilled independent thinkers, know how to tactfully make it clear to a boss that the boss is wrong, are unafraid to fail, and have a keen sense of daring backed by solid logical reasoning ability. You'll be expected to communicate clearly, effectively, and constantly. You'll also have a lot of fun. :)

 

Don't see something that matches your background, but convinced you could be a good fit? Tell us!

 


 

What are we looking for?

We value intelligence over workplace experience, and clever independent projects over GPA. We'd much rather talk to someone who started a non-profit in college or led a group of a Presidential campaign interns than someone who got a 1600 on their SATs and a 4.0 in college but never ventured off the beaten path. Tell us that crazy thing that kept you up all weekend.
