We like Christopher Alexander, Brett Victor, Alan Kay, Dieter Rams, Ivan Sutherland and the like. We are self-financing, so no outside investor influence.

The lab is in flux: we're now building a physical space in Yerevan, Armenia, and physical presence there is one week a month. If you're in a different country, we'll be flying you in, all expenses paid.

We are paying $3k after taxes — give or take depending on your taxation situation.

If you want to join as a UX designer, drop a line at nano@aicompany.am with your portfolio, a list of three principles of your design approach (one sentence each), and whatever else you'd like.

We're good at determining AI writing, so don't. Your application will be read by a human several times, very attentively. A human will respond.

We don't have product owners, scrum masters, daily stand-ups, or grooming sessions via Zoom. Instead, we have project briefs and debriefs, critical path-based planning, and PERT.

We leverage AI at every level of our work — from task tracking to writing code. We expect modern engineers to do the same.

This position is hybrid: one week each month, we gather in our Yerevan office for an intensive creative burst. The rest is remote. Fully remote is also possible.

The team language is Russian; our projects are in English. Being eloquent in the former and proficient in the latter is a hard requirement.

The pay is $3,000–4,000 USD after taxes (depending on tax residence).

To apply, write to aarm@aicompany.am with: your CV, a link to your GitHub, a joke in each language, your opinion on the best IDE/model for AI-assisted engineering, and a brief description of a project where you made a significant contribution.

As an AI company, we're very good at spotting LLM writing. A human will read your application and always respond by hand, so please extend the same courtesy.

We don't expect you to write code — we'd rather you didn't. Most of our projects use TypeScript or Python. Most of our features involve orchestrating AI models with applied mathematics and machine learning. We build many prototypes.

This position is fully remote, though we have an office in Yerevan. The team language is Russian; our projects are in English. Eloquence in Russian and proficiency in English are hard requirements.

We're looking for an engineering generalist experienced in backend, frontend, and Unity engineering. You must have made a significant contribution to one or more projects in at least two of these three roles.

You also developed an unusually clear understanding of what people actually want from a story, as opposed to what they claim to want.

You may have tried to import this into more respectable work and found the reception lukewarm. The people who have not written two million words of fiction tend to have strong opinions about which two million words count.

We are less interested in the respectability of the canon than in whether you understand narrative, audience, and the mechanics of why something works. If you do, write to us at nano@aicompany.am. Tell us what you have written, what you have read, and what you think most people get wrong about the genre.

Then came the pivot, or the bridge round that did not close, or simply the slow realisation that the market was not quite where you had placed it.

Since then you have been in an odd position. Operators want a track record of scale you do not have. Investors want you on the other side of the table. Other founders are either too early to need you or too late to want the reminder.

What you do have is an unusual combination: you have held the strategy and the spreadsheet at the same time, you have fired someone and fixed the deployment on the same afternoon, and you have learnt, at some cost, what early looks like from the inside.

If this is roughly your situation, write to us at nano@aicompany.am. Tell us what you built, what went wrong, and what you think you understand now that you did not before.

In each case, you were launching something distinctly curious and concluded that you might be suited to leading projects that demand originality of thought, resilience in the face of uncertain timelines, and a strong network of capable people.

Regrettably, you discovered that many engineering firms insist that R&D must neatly follow SCRUM, that you are not quite cheerful enough for their tastes, and that you are still regarded primarily as a specialist.

If this sounds familiar, write to us at nano@aicompany.am. Tell us about your projects, your career, and your story. We may find we get on rather well.

Either way, you now look at the world rather grimly. Landing pages all blur into one, UX feels like a relic in the age of superapps, and enterprise work asks you to communicate endlessly while producing something painfully derivative.

You visited our website and thought it was trashy — but interesting. If so, write to nano@aicompany.am. Show us your work, tell us a bit about yourself, and perhaps we will make something together.
