Application

Everything you write and record must be in English. The video is optional. Fields marked * are required.

Full name *

Email *

LinkedIn profile *

Where do you live? *

This role is based in San Francisco or Seattle.

U.S. work authorization *

If you hold a visa that will need sponsorship later, such as OPT or H-1B, choose the second option.

Demo video link (optional)

Five minutes or less, in English. Loom, YouTube, Vimeo, or Google Drive (unlisted is fine), and the link must point at the video itself, not a folder. Make sure it is viewable by anyone. If you record one: your face on camera introducing yourself, and a screen recording walking through a system you built and run and the hardest problem it gave you. Casual is fine, content matters far more than polish.

No video? Leave the field blank and let your written answers carry the application.
