About · Work with us

We hire people who would have checked our arithmetic anyway.

The work is retrieval, verification and writing that survives audit. If that sounds slow, it is — and the slowness is the job.

How hiring works here
Application
A note and one piece of work you are proud of. No cover-letter theatre.
Trial
A paid half-day of real work, scored by two people who did not interview you.
Salary
The band is published with the role. The band is the band.
Interview
One question matters: tell us about a number you were wrong about.
The one question

Every candidate, for every role, is asked to describe a figure they once got wrong and how the error was found. Candidates who cannot produce one have either never done verifiable work or never checked it.

Both are fine qualities for other institutions. Here, the corrections log is on the main navigation, and the people who thrive are the ones who find that comforting rather than threatening.
