// Careers

Engineering that ships.
Engineering that runs.

We build cloud and AI platforms — and operate them ourselves. The people we hire ship features in their first week and own pages of production code by their second.

// How we work

Small team. Real ownership.
No process theatre.

Orion is deliberately small. Everyone here writes code, talks to customers, and is on call for something they shipped. There is no project manager shielding you from the work, and no senior architect writing diagrams someone else implements.

If you join us, you will write production code in your first week. You will own a piece of one of our platforms — Sprintsail, Drydock, or Shortlist — within your first month. You will be on the rotation for an outage that's yours to recover from before you've been here a quarter.

We hire seniors. Mid-level engineers will be the most junior person in every conversation, and that's fine if you want to be stretched. We do not hire entry-level today. When we do, we will say so plainly here.

// What you'll want to know

The questions we get most often.

Remote or in person?
Remote-first. The team is distributed across US time zones. We get together in person a few times a year for working sessions.
What does the interview look like?
A 30-minute call with whoever would manage you, a paid take-home (typically a working code review or a small system design), and a 90-minute working session with two engineers from the team. No leetcode, no whiteboard algorithms.
What stack will I work in?
Depends on the role. Most of the cloud work is CDK + TypeScript. Sprintsail SDK is TypeScript. Drydock is Go + K8s. AI work is on Bedrock + Claude. We do not religion-fight about languages — pick the right tool, then ship.
Compensation?
Cash + equity, calibrated to the level and the work. We will share specifics on the first call and put numbers in writing before any later round.
How is this different from a consulting firm?
You will write code that runs in production, not slide decks. You will own pieces of Sprintsail, Drydock, or Shortlist that real users depend on, not deliverables that hand off to a client.

Introduce yourself.

Even if no role here matches today. We keep notes.
