General Open Call for Applications

About the role

We are searching for exceptional individuals who can bring diverse perspectives and talents to our organization. Due to the nature of this open call, not all positions may be available immediately; we will regularly review applications and reach out to qualified individuals as suitable opportunities arise.

Competencies

We are looking for people who are:

• Passionate about making advanced fission a reality
• Willing and able to learn quickly
• Eager to work on a dynamic team, receive constructive feedback, and grow with us
• Willing to think differently and do things in new ways
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, highly iterative startup environment
• Excited to think creatively, critically, and reflectively about the problems they are solving, while not leaning only on what has been done before
• Willing to propose novel and creative solutions to technical problems
• An excellent writer who can write in modern active voice

Who you are

A startup person: You aren’t driven by titles or hierarchy, and prefer efficiency to excess process. You don’t need or expect to have a lot of guidance but you enjoy working in a fast-paced team. If you prefer the culture and feel of a large organization, that is great, but you likely won’t enjoy working with us!

Motivated: You are self-motivated. You bring an enthusiasm to the team, and imbue a sense of passion that goes beyond clocking in and clocking out.

An excellent communicator: We need a person who is a clear, efficient, and upbeat communicator.

Creative: You are able to identify problems and invent ways to solve them or fill a need without micromanagement. The successful person will enjoy solving open-ended problems that may change day-to-day.

Detail-oriented: This focus is a big part of excellence, consistency, and quality. Excellent grammar and spelling matter for both good communication as well as the image of the company that we put forward.

Minimum Qualifications

While specific experience is not a mandatory requirement, a demonstrated track record of excellence in any field will be highly regarded. Tell us how you want to contribute to our team and mission! We encourage candidates from all backgrounds and experience levels to apply.
