The work is mostly the unglamorous half.

Provenance systems, permission models, and getting a label to render properly. If that sounds like the boring part, this isn’t the job.

Open roles

None listed

No open roles right now.

We don’t keep evergreen postings up because the careers page looked empty. When a role opens, it will appear here. If nothing is listed, nothing is open — and that is the honest version.

Every posting on this sheet will say

The work: What the work actually is — not a list of adjectives
Day one: What the person needs to be able to do on day one
First three months: What they’d be figuring out over the first three months

If you think you belong here anyway, say so and why.

What the work actually is.

CHiiRO’s interesting problems are not the ones that look interesting from outside.

Provenance: Making a provenance label render correctly in every context it can appear in.
Permissions: Designing a permission model that doesn’t collapse the moment two communities share a member.
Archive search: Writing an archive search that returns good results when the corpus is small and, today, AI-authored seed content.

If you’ve read the site and thought “I’d like to work on that” — that reaction is the first filter, and it works better than a puzzle in an interview.

Who does well here.

We don’t run competitive hiring processes with five rounds and a take-home project.

People who can hold a whole problem — not just the part that matches their job title.
People who write things down because the thing they figured out will be useful to someone else in three months.
People who are more bothered by a wrong label than a missing feature.

If the disclosures page makes you think “good, that’s how it should work” rather than “why would you publish that”, you’ll probably like it here.
