- Time spent inside or close to a high-accountability engineering culture in the mould of a Stripe, Cloudflare, AWS, Datadog, MongoDB or similar; you understand the value of correctness and verification - Familiarity with systems languages like Rust, JVM languages like Java/Kotlin, or cloud-native languages like Go - Domain expertise in formal methods or verification, either from research or from practical application - An understanding of specification-aware programming (Verus, Dafny, Viper), proof assistants and verification tools (TLA+, Lean, Roq, Isabelle) - Experience building relationships with senior engineers and CTOs - Genuine interest in the commercial side of our work - Comfort with and excitement about the early-stage version of this work: consistently world class output, despite ambiguity, hands-on scrappiness, and rapid iteration

- Actively contribute to formal verification or program synthesis projects: Verus, Lean, Dafny, or similar - Have run production back-end services at scale; you've felt the pain of what testing can't prove - Have been accountable for distributed systems; you respect the failure modes that emerge from concurrency, consensus, and partial failure
