About us------------
- At the company, we're redefining entertainment with AI. We're one of the fastest-growing startups globally, serving 20 million users in our first year. We're an in-person company based in Sydney, Australia.
- We're guided by a set of principles that are foundational to our work and drive every decision:
+ User-first: We build things that people want. We invest time to understand our users and focus on adding value instead of extracting value.+ High agency, high ownership: We're responsible for the pieces we own, end-to-end. We own every mistake, figure out what went wrong, and fix it. We don't blame anyone or anything else.+ Urgency: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We prioritize well, find ways to increase leverage, and move at an inspirational pace.

How we think about comp---------------------------
Our overarching philosophy is to raise the ceiling for our best performers, not the floor. We pay based on the value you add to the company.
- The range listed for this role is total comp: cash plus equity combined, with superannuation paid on top.
- We re-evaluate compensation every 6 months. Bonuses are backward-looking; raises are forward-looking.
- A bonus rewards work you've already done, like exceptional output or consistently performing above your level.
- A raise reflects that you've moved up. It resets your baseline to match the higher level you're now operating at.
Our interview process-------------------------
- A quick phone call to learn about you and share more about our company.
- A technical interview, 1hr of system design, no live coding.
- A paid work trial, so you get a feel for what it's like to work with us.
- You get an offer, and we celebrate!
