Talent

Don't join a company. Help build the next one.

At Lab of Awesome, engineers, designers, operators and entrepreneurs work across ideas at the earliest possible stage — and stay with them as they turn into companies. One year you might be building a consumer platform used at festivals. The next challenge could involve healthcare AI or autonomous maritime technology.

Zero to scale

Build it. Launch it. Grow it.

Working at Lab of Awesome does not mean handing a product over after launch. Teams can stay involved as ventures find their first customers, discover product-market fit, build their growth engine and become independent companies.

Venture teams

You join a venture, not a department.

We assemble small multidisciplinary teams around each venture. The composition shifts with the stage: product and validation first, then growth, commercial and leadership.

  • Venture LeadOwns the outcome of the venture end to end.
  • ProductDecides what gets built next, based on evidence.
  • EngineeringTechnology, AI and the product itself.
  • DesignInterface, brand and product logic.
  • GrowthAcquisition, distribution and the commercial engine.
  • CommercialSales, partnerships, pricing and revenue.
  • Domain ExpertThe inside knowledge of the industry being rebuilt.

How this works

We hire people for the Lab, not only for vacancies.

No standing vacancy list

Ventures create roles when they are ready. We keep talking to strong people in between.

Ownership from day one

Early ventures have no layers. Whoever is closest to the problem decides.

Ambiguity as the default

If you need a fully specified brief to start, this will be uncomfortable. If you don't, it's ideal.

People we look for

  • Founding Engineers

    You take a vague problem and a blank repository and return with something people can use.

  • AI Engineers

    Applied AI in production: retrieval, evaluation, guardrails and real workflows — not demos.

  • Product Designers

    Interface, brand and product logic for companies that do not have a category yet.

  • Product Builders

    You decide what to build next based on evidence, and you ship it weekly.

  • Growth Entrepreneurs

    Finding the first thousand users when nobody has heard of the product.

  • Venture Leads

    You take ownership of a venture and build the team and business around it.

  • Commercial & Operations

    Sales, partnerships, pricing and the operating rhythm of a company that is starting to work.

  • Domain Experts

    You know an industry from the inside and want to see it rebuilt properly.
