Working at Tevos

We're building the thing that scores careers. Help us build it.

A small founding team, one ranking pipeline, zero ghost roles on our own job board. You'll see your Tevos Score before you apply — same surface our candidates see — and the band for the role is in the listing, not the third interview. If you'd rather ship one careful thing than a dozen half-finished ones, this is the team.

Why here, not somewhere bigger

02 · The deal

Density over scale

A founding team, not two hundred engineers. Each person owns a real surface area. No layers of approval between you and shipping.

Owned end-to-end

We crawl, embed, rank, and serve our own stack. No black-box vendors in the critical path. You'll touch the whole pipeline.

Real research budget

Embedding work, eval harnesses, voice agents — these need time and compute, not a pep talk. We allocate both.

Step 01

Written intro

A short note — what you've built, what you'd want to build here.

Step 02

30-min product chat

You meet a founder. Two-way conversation, not a quiz.

Step 03

Paid work-sample

3–5 hours, scoped to the actual role. We pay for your time.

Step 04

Team debrief

Walk through your sample with the people you'd work with.

Step 05

References & offer

We call two references, then send an offer with the band published up-front.

≤ 14 days end-to-end From first reply to offer. We won't drag the process out, and you shouldn't either.

Comp transparency Bands published before you start interviewing. No "what are your expectations" games.

Work-sample is paid Standard rate for the level. You keep the work either way; we don't ship unpaid trial code.

The number, up front

05 · The package

Cash bands are published per role and per level — you'll see the number before the first call. Equity is meaningful early-stage and refreshed on tenure, not on negotiation. We don't claim to match FAANG cash and we don't pretend equity is lottery-ticket money. The deal is a fair number, a real ownership stake, and a calendar that respects your life.

Published cash bands, no negotiation theatre
Meaningful early-stage equity, four-year vest, one-year cliff
Hardware of your choice — laptop, monitor, keyboard, chair
Annual learning budget for books, courses, and conferences
Remote-first within Asia hours; quarterly Bangalore offsites
No overnight on-call rotations — incidents get woken up by the founders

Nothing fits? Tell us anyway.
