No degree required. No minimum years of experience. Apply with a cover letter about work that is not on your resume, then show us what you can do in a 60-minute open-book work exercise — internet and AI tools allowed and expected.
Upload three documents in the exact format specified. Following the format precisely is part of the evaluation.
Compliant applications are screened and qualified candidates are invited by email to the work exercise.
One real-world task from the role's discipline. Open book: research and AI tools are allowed. The full window is yours — use it.
Strong exercise performance is what gets you hired. A short conversation covers logistics and compensation.
Applications that do not follow this format exactly are not reviewed. This is part of the evaluation.

COVER LETTER — must contain these three headings, in this order:
1. WORK NOT ON MY RESUME
Self-directed education, personal projects, skills or crafts you
built on your own time. This section matters more to us than your
resume. Be specific about what you made or learned and how.
2. WHY THIS ROLE
Why this role at this company. Generic text is obvious and scored
as such.
3. A MISTAKE I CAUGHT
One time you caught an error in an authoritative source, an
expert, or an AI output — and what you did about it.
RESUME — reverse chronological. No minimum experience or degree is
required for any role; demonstrated ability substitutes for pedigree.
REFERENCES — exactly 3, one per line:
Name | Relationship | Phone or email | One sentence: what will
they say about you?
