WANTED A founding engineer to join Rostra and work with me on a novel tool for founders. Like a Waymo, you will be fully self-driving. Like the media's portrayal of a Waymo, you will go through walls if that's the shortest path. You will choose your own tools for the job, but experience with LLMs with tool use will help greatly, especially if it involves building long chains of structured and unstructured outputs. You are creative and tasteful, with a strong sense of style and vibes. You have a finely tuned cringe-detector and ability to read the room. You are a clear and effective communicator. The better you build this product, the bigger will be your job. You’ll be well paid, but ideally that's not the reason you want to do this. In a colleague we seek the same traits George C. Marshall sought in new generals: character, loyalty, courage to stand and fight, youthful vigor, unconventional background, and physical fitness. We're building something that's been badly needed yet never made, because the necessary tools haven't existed before now, and even with them it's devilishly hard to do just right. If you believe you are the person to do it, please apply at the link below.

My generic career advice for young people is that if at all possible, you should aim to work on something that no one has a word for. Spend your energies where we don’t have a name for what you are doing, where it takes a while to explain to your mother what it is you do. When you are ahead of language, that means you are in a spot where it is mor
