Build the watch.
Augur is a small team building the platform that lets federal contractors stop guessing. If that’s a thing you’d find satisfying — owning the work, shipping the call, watching a real customer win a real contract on the back of it — read on.
What we’re looking for
Right now we hire engineers, designers, and capture-domain operators. The shape of person who tends to do well at Augur:
- Has shipped a thing that’s in actual use by paying customers. (Hobby projects count, but the bar is “someone depends on this.”)
- Prefers writing things down. We’re async-first; the team is distributed across time zones; durable artifacts beat meetings.
- Believes a deliberately small team can outbuild a large one when the team owns the work end-to-end.
- Has worked in or around federal contracting, or wants to learn it deeply. (We don’t hire pure “ML researchers” or pure “federal sales” — everyone touches the product and the customer.)
Open roles
We don’t list open roles here while we’re in the early-access cohort. If you read the above and think you’d add something specific, email careers@augurai.app with:
- A one-paragraph self-introduction.
- The work you’re proudest of and why.
- What you’d want to build at Augur.
How we work
Async-first. Most communication happens in writing in Slack and shared docs. Meetings are for decisions that need to be made together, not status broadcasts.
Ownership over consensus. One person owns each piece of work. They get final call. Disagreements are surfaced loudly, then the owner decides and we move on.
No theater. No vanity engineering, no rewrites for their own sake, no “process” that exists only to fill calendars. The bar for adding a meeting, a Jira ticket, or a framework is “will this make tomorrow’s work demonstrably better.”
Compensation
Cash + meaningful equity, calibrated to the role and your geography. We don’t lowball; we don’t pretend equity is cash either. Numbers go on the table in the second conversation, not the seventh.
Equal opportunity
Augur is an equal opportunity employer. We don’t discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. Our hiring pipeline is structured to surface this in practice, not just in policy.
