Compilers, cryptography,
and the cloud they run on.
Hanzo is a small team building an open AI cloud — the inference engine, the models, the backend services, and the agents that use them. Most of what we write is public, so you can read the codebase before you apply.
Benefits & Perks
How the team actually works.
Remote-first
The team is distributed. Work from wherever you already live.
Your own hours
We care what you ship, not what time you were online.
Small team
Few enough people that you own whole systems rather than tickets.
The work is public
Most of what we build is open source, under your own name.
Open Positions
Remote, unless the work needs hardware in a room.
