Why Judgment?
• Agents can’t work without this. Today’s agents hallucinate, drift, and break in production. We’re building the infrastructure that fixes this: the monitoring layer that makes agents self-improving.
• We’re wired to win. We're a team of less than 20 but we ship like 50+ on the daily. You'll be working with olympiad medalists, debate champions, and competitive athletes who bring that same intensity to company building.
• Fast track to founding. Our engineers interface directly with customers, ship code into their environments, and use their feedback to dictate what’s next on the roadmap. Everyone on the team is either an ex-founder or a founder-to-be.
• We make sure our people do their best work. If you deserve a spot on the team, money will never get in the way of it. Full benefits, Equinox, and a private chef to take care of you. We sprint hard but we play hard, ask us about our Smash/Mario Kart tournaments.
We work in person in San Francisco.
