Sage is looking for a member of technical staff to design, build, grow, and evaluate our forecasting tools: Fatebook, Quantified Intuitions, and future experiments.

Strong candidates might have at least two of:

1. Skilled web developer (Typescript, Next, React)

2. Experienced forecaster (e.g. on sites like Metaculus or Manifold)

3. Experience growing a startup

If you have any questions, get in touch by email or give anonymous feedback.

About this Role

Things you might be doing in this role:

• Designing and building Fatebook features, e.g., honing the UX, building enterprise support

• Conceptualizing and prototyping new experimental tools, e.g. using AI for epistemics a la FutureSearch

• Talking to users

• Strategizing about how to grow Fatebook

• Measuring our impact

• Team structure: one team member will be project lead, and manage a team of 2
  

You might be a good fit for this role if:

• You're a skilled web developer - you could likely get hired at FAANG if you wanted to

• You've spent >40 hours forecasting on sites like Metaculus or Manifold Markets

• You have hands-on startup experience

• You want to work fast, experiment, and wear many hats

• You care deeply about the impact of your work

You don't need to meet all of the above to be a good fit. These are attributes we want the team as a whole to have, but we expect each team member will be stronger on some than others. If you're unsure, we'd strongly recommend applying!

Our tech stack: AI Digest is built with Typescript, Next, React, Prisma, Tailwind and TRPC.

Salary and Benefits

• The salary range is $100,000 to $150,000, depending on experience

• The role is full-time and can be fully remote, or you can work with Adam in London or potentially other team members elsewhere (e.g. Bay Area or DC)

• We may be able to sponsor US/UK visas, or you can work remotely from any country

• We'll bring the team together for retreats ~twice a year

• Unlimited paid time off (we recommend at least 4-6 weeks per year)

• We'll provide medical, dental, and vision insurance, coworking office seats, conference travel, and tech expenses

• Your mentorship and personal development is a priority. We'll figure out what's best for you together - e.g., personal dev goals and review, pair programming, code review, weekly meetings, help finding external mentors

Applying for this Role

The application process will involve a few stages:

1. Apply

2. Coding test (2hr)

3. Take-home task (4-8hrs, paid)

4. Interview (1hr)

5. Work trial (paid, remote by default, or we can find an alternative if this doesn't work for you)

6. Offer

You can also leave feedback on this role, optionally anonymous. Thank you - this will help us improve our hiring process.
