Work On Metarational #

I’m hiring contractors who are highly aligned to Metarational’s mission to help me build the next generation of the product. While we’re in the experimentation phase I’m keeping the staff lean with contractors working on specific projects. Number of hours are flexible and expected to vary upon project needs.

Because this project is personally funded project, is highly speculative, and I’m very active in design and development, I prefer hiring relatively junior contractors (0-5 years of professional experience) in relatively inexpensive locations. Well-established world-class talent in pricier locations are more than welcome to apply as well, of course!

All work is remote unless you’re in the Bay Area, in which case we can likely work together a few days a week in an office.

All remote locations are fine, barring countries that make it overly difficult and risky for me to work with you.
