We are building a collaborative thinking tool with live editing like google docs but outside the browser and with much simpler technology
Why? Security; We want to create knowledge that is not going to end up in the belly of an LLM
Tech stack:
- Wireguard
- zeromq
- WASM for client, handcrafted server code for server. No browser needed on client
- DSL (for gui; probably you won't touch it)
- NixOS
Our approach to security is simplicity; we won't use dependencies unless we really have to; libs of more than 50k LOC are frowned upon. Every line in the codebase, including deps, should be understandable by someone in the team. Servers are nixOS. No docker anywhere.
About you:
- Are self-motivated and can work independently
- Understand how to build highly reliable systems and be responsible for taking code to production
- Understand that code simplicity and readability are more important for long term maintainability
- Strong CS fundamentals (B.S./M.S. equivalent)
We start out on a full-time trial contract basis for up to 3 months and use this period as an extended work interview for both sides to assess fit for long-term employment
