Working at Agonos

A small team building one product for people whose time is their inventory. Here is how we work and how to reach us.

Updated

Open roles

We do not keep a permanent list of openings, and we would rather say so than publish a page of roles that are not really being hired for.

Write anyway. If you are good at something this product needs, the message is worth sending whether or not there is a posting. We read every one, and we answer — including to say no, which is the answer most of the time and is still better than silence.

What we look for

People who finish things. The hard part of this product is not the first version of a feature, it is the fiftieth week of it working for someone who depends on it.

People who talk to coaches. Everyone here should be able to describe a real coach's Tuesday. If a decision cannot be explained in terms of somebody's actual week, it is a decision made for the wrong reason.

Taste over volume. We would rather ship four things that are right than twenty that are nearly.

How we work

The team is small and remote-friendly across European time zones. Work is organised in short cycles with a shipped result at the end of each. There is no on-call rota performed for its own sake, and no meeting that could have been a paragraph.

We build in public where we can: the product changelog and the journal are written by the people who did the work.

How to apply

Email contact@agonos.app with:

  • what you would want to work on here, and why it interests you
  • something you have built, shipped or written that you are willing to be judged on — a repository, a product, a piece of writing
  • where you are based, roughly, and what you need from a working week

No cover letter template, no CV formatting rules. One honest paragraph beats a page of adjectives, and we will tell you either way.
