Why people join
What you get at The Gnar Company
Senior teammates
Everyone we hire is senior, so you work next to people who know the job.
One project at a time
Engineers stay on one client project at a time, so they can go deep on it.
AI on every project
You write a clear plan, AI agents write code from it, and you check every result before it ships.
Remote, full-time, in the US
Work from home, within the United States. Everyone is a full-time W-2 employee, not a contractor.
Not a fit if
- You’re early in your career.
- You want to hop between clients every week.
- You don’t want to build with AI.
- You want contract work, or you live outside the US.
