We won’t let anyone near client work who cannot meet those standards. A players hire A players and everyone else drags down their performance. We fix that problem by employing only top performers. If you aren’t one, you shouldn’t work here.This is an off-the-charts amazing place to be a top-notch engineer - because your teammates are too!
Most of the people at our company are the smartest people we know. We ask everyone to think of the smartest most competent people who actually ship and get stuff done they’ve ever met are. And then we figure out a way to hire them.
Raised by clients we've worked with.

• You bring a founder level mentality to everything you do

• You love solving problems for customers, users, and humans everywhere
• You can balance maker vs manager time, and produce value during both
• You communicate extremely effectively

• You’re less enamored with intricate code than with creating value
• You’re capable of creating billions of dollars of value for the most innovative clients in the world and for the projects we incubate internally
Have more freedom, more time. But we also have offices that you can work in, and we do like to interact with people and clients in person.
Work out a schedule that fits with your team and you’re good to go. We know that forcing night owls to start work at 6am isn’t the best for productivity.
Short weekly meeting where you can talk about various things. You can find ways to grow, share feedback, improve processes, and share exciting things that you’re working on.
We help each other out. We have a network of amazing developers and data scientists working on different projects who are always willing to share their knowledge. There are no egos here.
Effective communication & collaboration that’s not annoying and actually helps get work done. Our processes work, and they make sure you constantly know you’re headed in the right direction.
Separation of Concerns, Don't Repeat Yourself, Avoid Mental Mapping, Unambiguous Names, and more. These are just some of the things we do to make our code great to work on right now and in the future.
We receive equity from amazing clients whose MVPs we help assemble (and who we help raise their next round). We also generate equity from the Skunkworks projects we incubate. Every year, we share some of this equity with our team as “profits interest.”
Once or twice a year, we try to gather the team together and we have a lot of fun with drinks, Hackathons, and other team activities. But don't be scared, we are aware of the introverts!
Our clients offer an incredible perspective on the landscape of development and data science. When client work shines a spotlight on opportunities to increase human agency with technology, AE's employees can found startups internally, often with the first customer already sold!
Rather than putting all your eggs in one basket, become a mini-VC (as long as you are part of the AE team) and earn additional equity each year. Our team doesn't ride out 12-18 months until their equity vests so they can quit… they continue building amazing, agency-increasing tools for themselves, our clients, and humanity.
And remember, the number of client projects and incubated skunkworks grows as a function of the number of AE team members. The upside is large. The risk is diversified. The model is unique.
These incubated Skunkworks projects offer founder-level equity to those who build them and additional equity to all AE employees. Found a startup where you know your co-founders are phenomenal, your product is desired, and your support network is an incredible team of experienced founders, developers, data scientists, and designers!
• there's a pretty high standard for performance so if you're looking to coast it's probably not the best fit
• if you do get hired you'll go through an intensive onboarding process where people who aren't a good fit just quit or get fired
• you'll be expected to communicate with clients, make them know they're in good hands, and make them know they can absolutely count on us to do the right thing for their business
• we expect people that we hire to be able to wear any hats and be able to give clients the AE guarantee. The AE Guarantee: We’ll treat your product or project like it’s our own startup and do whatever it takes, with a founder-level mentality, to make it spectacularly successful
• we have a relatively flat organizational structure, so if you care about titles we're probably not the best fit for you
• there are an increasing number of scammers out there that are taking advantage of our company's name to scam people with fake offers that result in you ultimately giving the scammers money. Please make sure anyone who contacts you is contacting you from the domains ae.studio, agencyenterprise.com, agencyenterprisestudio.com (please make sure that the sender really is from those domains). If you have any questions about any interviews or offers you might have received and seem bogus, please contact recruiting-offers@ae.studio
