Recruiting for Alpha Team

Deploy code that defends.

DarkDeck is the operating system for high-stakes decisions. We are looking for the top 1% of builders who want to trade comfort for impact.

This is not a normal job.

Most companies optimize for comfort. We optimize for velocity and truth.

We are building tools that will be used in courtrooms, ICUs, and command centers. There is no room for "good enough." If you hallucinate a legal citation, a case is lost. If you miss a drug interaction, a patient is harmed.

The pressure is high. The hours can be long. But the work actually matters.

Career Compression

Skip the ladder. Do 5 years of career growth in 1 year. We give you as much responsibility as you can handle.

Uncapped Compute

Access to the best hardware and API limits. If it helps you build faster, we buy it. No questions asked.

Direct Mentorship

Work directly with founders who have shipped at scale. No middle management. No politics.

Work from Anywhere

We care about output, not seat time. Live where you are happiest. Sync on impact.

Mission Critical

Your code will defend doctors from malpractice and commanders from bad intel. The stakes are real.

Velocity Environment

We move fast. You will ship code to production your first week. No red tape.

Active Missions

Open roles for the current campaign.

Engineering Resident (Summer 2026)

Priority
Internship · Production OwnershipRemote / Hybrid

Most internships are fake work. This is not. You will ship code that defends doctors and commanders. You will push to production on Day 1. You will learn more in 12 weeks than 4 years of school.

Objectives

  • Own a full-stack feature from database schema to React component
  • Ship real-time features used by active pilots
  • Participate in high-stakes architectural debates
  • Break things, fix them, and ship again

Requirements

  • You have built and shipped something real (link us to it)
  • You are obsessed with velocity and craft
  • You know TypeScript/React better than your professors
  • You want to skip the corporate ladder

Founding Engineer (New Grad)

Full-Time · Significant EquityRemote / Hybrid

Skip the big tech cog-in-a-machine role. Join as a founding engineer and architect the nervous system of a platform that matters. You will have more autonomy here than a Senior Engineer at FAANG.

  • Define the engineering culture and standards
  • Directly interface with customers

Requirements

  • Top 1% builder mentality
  • Experience shipping zero-downtime production systems
  • Obsession with performance and user experience

AI Systems Engineer

Full-Time · Significant EquityRemote

Bridge the gap between research papers and production. You will build the retrieval engines and evaluation harnesses that keep our AI honest using the latest frontier models.
