Nothing open at the moment
If you build the kind of thing described on this site and want to be considered when a role opens, write to us. Send work, not a cover letter.
services@blacksmithai.netPostings appear on this page first. There is no talent pool to join and no form that disappears into a system, because there is no system.

Who tends to do well here
- 01
Builders first
People who would rather ship a working thing this week than produce a document about shipping it next quarter.
- 02
Comfortable in regulated work
Government and defense programs come with constraints. The people who enjoy this work treat those constraints as part of the design problem.
- 03
Technically curious
The stack changes. What holds is the habit of reading the documentation, understanding the system underneath, and being skeptical of tools that promise to remove the thinking.
- 04
Able to work small
In a team this size there is nowhere to hide and no one to hand a problem to. That suits some people enormously and others not at all.
- 05
Direct
We would rather hear that an estimate is wrong on day three than on day thirty. Saying so is treated as good judgement, not bad news.
