Join Orbital
We are looking for high-agency engineers, builders, researchers, and designers to invent the future of human potential.
Our Culture
Orbital operates as a high-density, low-friction cell of generalists. We believe that small, focused groups with extreme ownership can build tools that traditionally required entire organizations.
High Agency
You own your projects from concept to production. We value people who take initiative, make decisions under uncertainty, and solve problems without waiting for permission.
Velocity over Specs
We value working code and user feedback over long planning cycles. We ship prototypes early, test them in the real world, and iterate rapidly based on actual usage.
Cognitive Scaffolding
We build interfaces that help people learn, think, and express ideas at their highest levels. We focus on amplifying human agency, not automating humans away.
Who We Look For
We do not hire for narrow roles. We look for cross-disciplinary thinkers and makers who want to push the boundaries of what software can do.
Systems Engineers
Builders who construct robust distributed versioning systems, persistent agent databases, and fast inference pipelines. You should care about performance, state management, and building clean developer tools.
Product Designers & Frontend Developers
Makers who bridge the gap between design and code. You should care deeply about typography, responsive layouts, micro-animations, and building interactive interfaces that feel alive and immediate.
Cognitive & Prompt Researchers
Thinkers who design advanced agent workflows, simulation environments, and interactive learning systems. You should understand how humans synthesize information and how models can best facilitate that synthesis.
How to Apply
If you want to build tools that augment human potential, we would love to hear from you. We don't care about credentials, we care about what you can build.
Send an email to team@theorbitallabs.com with:
- A brief description of a project you built from scratch that you are proud of.
- Why you want to build cognitive augmentation tools.
- Links to your GitHub, portfolio, or writing.
