Who you are:

A startup person: You aren't driven by titles or hierarchy, and 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! There is plenty of important work and plenty of good opportunities with organizations like that.

Motivated: You are self-motivated. You bring enthusiasm to the team and imbue a sense of passion that goes beyond clocking in and clocking out. This isn’t about a fake or arbitrary “pieces of flair” mentality or lack of work-life balance! It is about being a part of the vision and feeling a part of reaching team goals.

A team-player: Oklo genuinely is a team. We aren’t about taking credit for ourselves, and we aren’t about pushing blame to others. We do incredible things because we work as a team.

An excellent communicator: We need a person who is not only technically competent but also a clear and upbeat communicator verbally, in written form, and via presentations.

Creative: Being creative means that when things fall outside clear scopes or processes or problems arise without clear solutions, you can identify it as well as invent ways to solve a problem or fill a need without micromanagement. The successful person in this job will enjoy being creative and solving open-ended problems which may change day by day.

Process and detail-oriented: This focus is a big part of excellence, consistency, and quality.
