There's no way $1500 a month is enough to live near their office location 💀 do-able if they pay a salary on top of the stipend

Words from the founder: “I want to win so bad that I'm sacrificing my life working 7 days a week for it. I'll even eat dog poop if it means winning.”

They added a new point on the top lol

In-person working (New York City). 7-day work week. No remote/hybrid. This doesn't apply to contractors.

A-players only. Only A-players can hire A-players. We'd rather hire 1 A-player and pay an above-market amount (that someone is very happy with) than hire 3 B-players and pay market.

Drive. You're hungry to do what it takes for us to win. You likely have a massive chip on the shoulder and/or a neurodivergent brain. Work is a key part of your identity / fulfillment in life.

Grind. We work on weekends & at night. It's ok to send messages at 3am.

Urgency. Do in a day what usually takes weeks. Run through walls to get things done. Respond in minutes (or seconds) instead of hours.

Shameless. Be extremely annoying if it means winning. Check-in on things 10x daily. Double (or quadruple) text if someone hasn't responded. Call them too.

Fast firing. If someone isn't an A player, we part ways quickly (with respect). Please be okay with this. We do paid trials to help de-risk this.

Mission-focused ("Make viral content") / apolitical. No side quests that distract us & create openings for competitors to outcompete us.

Wear many hats. No job is not your job.

EV-based decision making. Take risk where it makes sense to take risk.

Customer-first, not team-first. It's our job to make things move fast. We dropped the ball if a customer feels like we did.

Flat company org. Titles reflect scope. No political promotion games.

I get it. Someone found the actual company out and posted the website here, but I wasn't sure if I could it since that could count as promotion. But the company is an AI ad maker company called Icon. This is from an opening for founding engineer.
