We are an AI-first company. Claude Code and AltaML's shared configuration and skills library are the default way engineers design, build, test, and review software, not an optional accelerant a few people use.We expect dramatically higher productivity from working this way. A step change, not a marginal gain. That's the baseline we hire and promote against, not an aspirational ceiling.We believe AI has compressed what used to take weeks into days, and what used to take days into hours. Estimates, sprint commitments, and delivery timelines should reflect that reality, not pre-AI habits.Show us, don't tell us. As part of applying, share an example of your AI-assisted coding: a PR, a repo, a recorded session, or whatever best demonstrates how you actually work with AI day to day.We overpay for the right people. We'd rather pay a premium for an engineer who embodies this and multiplies the team than save money on someone who doesn't.Engineering @ AltaML - How We Work:We are an AI-first company.
