Proof of work

Open to

Open to forward-deployed engineering, applied-AI or ML product engineering, and hands-on platform roles in New York City. The strongest fit is a team that evaluates public code, research methods, and shipped artifacts alongside interviews.

  • →Forward-deployed engineering roles in New York City
  • →Applied-AI or ML product engineering grounded in measurable outcomes
  • →Customer-facing engineering that turns ambiguous problems into working systems
  • →Hands-on platform or developer-tooling work with end-to-end ownership
  • →Teams willing to evaluate public code, research, and shipped artifacts

Evidence first: public artifacts show current scope and limits. Role fit should be assessed through technical discussion, a scoped work sample, and the team's actual deployment needs.

Fit signals

  • →A concrete customer or operational problem
  • →Hands-on engineering with measurable outcomes
  • →A New York City team or clearly NYC-compatible work model
  • →Technical discussion of public artifacts and their stated limits
