We are not a family. We are a high-performance sports team.
We hire adults, pay top of market, and give you the freedom to do the best work of your career.
Our operating principles are non-negotiable.
We do not scale by adding headcount. We scale by increasing the capability per unit. We pay top-of-market to maintain a small, elite team of Principals.
We hire engineers who do not need to be managed. Leadership provides the strategic objective; you determine the tactical execution.
Politeness is a bug, not a feature. We critique ideas ruthlessly to ensure the survival of the best technical solution. Ego has no place here.
You build it, you run it. There is no DevOps team to catch your fall. You own the full lifecycle of your code from commit to production.
Targeting the 99th percentile of engineering talent.
Our hiring process is rigorous, deterministic, and respectful of your time. We optimize for signal, not noise.
Application review. We look for outliers, open-source contributions, and non-linear career paths.
Screening call. Cultural fit assessment. Do you thrive in ambiguity? Do you seek autonomy?
Technical deep-dive. No LeetCode. Real-world architectural problems. Whiteboarding system design.
Final round. Meet the Principals. Defend your thesis. Verify alignment with the mission.
Offer extended. Onboarding protocol initiated. Welcome to the Vanguard.

This is not an internship. You will not be fetching coffee. You will be shipping production code to sovereign clusters alongside Principal Engineers.
The CPH.AI Residency is a 12-week intensive program designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and industrial execution.
