Remote, really
No office. No commute.
No presenteeism.
Everyone works from wherever they think best. Client meetings happen by videoconference — scheduled, bounded and few. The calendar serves the work, not the other way around.
Careers
Work here.
Live anywhere.
We deleted the office, the timesheet and the org chart along with the rest of the old model. What's left is the deal most senior people actually want.
The deal
Judged on artifacts.
Free on everything else.
At Ex Machina you are evaluated on exactly four things: the artifacts you ship, their quality, the deadlines you honor, and the budgets you respect.
The path to get there is entirely yours. Your hours, your methods, your location, your tools, your rhythm. Nobody watches how you work, because nobody needs to — the artifact speaks for itself.
It's the same promise we make clients, pointed inward: no theatre, no process worship, no performative busyness. Just thinking, building and shipping.
What that means, concretely
No office. No commute.
Your own hours
Energy-based days,
not clock-based ones.
Parents do the school run. Night owls think at midnight. Nobody apologizes for a dentist appointment. Deadlines are sacred; everything before them is yours to arrange.
Full autonomy
You own the how.
We agree on the what, the when and the how much — then get out of your way. If you find a smarter, faster route to a better artifact, that's not cutting corners. That's the job.
Leverage
You'll never be
under-equipped again.
- A fleet of agents at your service. Claude Code, Codex and our agent systems handle the repetitive 80% — you keep the judgement and the craft.
- The best tools, most generous tiers. Every subscription you need to do great work, on the biggest plans available. Tooling is never the bottleneck.
- Free training, always. Full Udemy access on us — plus real time to use it. Staying sharp is part of the job, not something you do on Sundays.
- Knowledge is shared by default. Everything anyone learns — a technique, a workflow, an agent recipe — belongs to everyone. Small team, collective brain.
Money
Project-based pay.
Efficiency is yours to keep.
Compensation is per project, agreed upfront — not per hour sat. If you're efficient and clever, if you wield agents better than anyone, you finish faster and earn more. The upside of your skill goes to you, not to a utilization spreadsheet.
In the old model, being twice as fast made your employer richer. Here it makes you richer. We think that's the only honest way to pay senior people in the age of agents.
Honest fine print
You'll thrive here if
- you're senior enough to own outcomes, not tasks
- autonomy energizes you instead of scaring you
- you treat AI agents as a superpower to master
- you'd rather ship something great than attend something long
This is not for you if
- you need a manager to structure your week
- you measure your worth in hours worked
- you want a career ladder with titles to climb
- deadlines and budgets feel negotiable to you
