Autotab (YC S23) | Founding Engineer | NYC | 6 days a week in the office

If AGI is going to 100x GDP, it will need to be able to use a computer.

Autotab is the first digital robot that controls a computer like a human. It excels at the highly repetitive tasks that make up the worst parts of modern knowledge work. If we succeed, we will provide the platform that unlocks the next 100x productivity increase, and frees humans from trillions of hours of soul-crushing work.

We are second time founders backed by OpenAI and YCombinator. We are live in production and are working with some of the biggest companies you use every day to handle critical tasks that humans used to do. We’re rapidly scaling up to meet demand, and building a 5-person founding team where everyone builds product and talks to users.

If you are technical and have founded or want to start a company we should talk!

Is that accurate?

If you just want a job that pays the bills, I respect your decision, but you should not apply.

The hardest and most important problems won't be solved working 9-5, 5 days a week.

Nobody feels like they "have to" come in on Saturdays - we find purpose in our work, and see it as the main way we can have a meaningful impact. We enjoy working, learning and spending time together.

We would much rather spend 70 hours a week doing great work than clocking in for 40 hours a week.

Plus we do take Sundays off.

Then why list it? I regularly work on Saturdays because I have an interesting problem I want to solve, but i'd never apply to a listing like this because it reads like the company is cosplaying as a high performing startup.

I peeked at your resume, and it doesn't seem like you've worked with top tier software teams previously. You may want to hire some outside help to cultivate an actual high performance culture.

Notice OpenAI and Anthropic aren't making statements like "six days a week in office"...
