Senior Only
Everyone here has shipped systems that other people depend on. There is no junior bench to hand your work to.

Careers
A Small Team Of People Who Ship
We hire rarely and carefully. When we do, we look for engineers who have carried something to production and stayed to maintain it.
How we work
What It Is Like Here
An accurate description rather than an aspirational one.
You Write Code
Including the people who run engagements. Nobody at DarCode only makes slides.
Role002
Remote, Async First
Written decisions, few meetings, and overlap hours agreed per engagement rather than imposed globally.
Working003
Depth Over Breadth
Two or three clients at a time, not eight. Context switching is the thing that ruins this work.
Focus004
You Own Decisions
Architecture calls are made by the engineer doing the work, defended in writing, not escalated upward.
Autonomy005
Learning Is Budgeted
Time and money for the reading, courses, and experiments that keep the work good.
Growth006
Open roles
Nothing Posted Right Now
We hire when a specific engagement needs a specific person, which means roles open with little notice.
If you are a senior engineer working in AI systems, backend architecture, or full-stack product delivery, send us something you have built and a paragraph on what you would want to work on. We read every one, and we keep good introductions on file.
A link to real work tells us more than a CV does. A repository, a system you designed, or a write-up of a decision you got wrong and what you changed afterwards all work well.

Tell us what you have built. We would rather read that than a job application.
