Build the reasoning that enterprises run on

We build frontier reasoning models and the private deployment tooling that regulated enterprises need to run them. The team is small, senior, and pointed at one problem: making systems that hold up long after the demo. Come build them with us.

Our values

Do hard work beside people who care about it

Velocity

We ship in weeks, trust each other's judgement, and keep the feedback loop uncomfortably short.

Candour

We say the difficult thing early, write the reasoning down, and treat disagreement as free information.

Ownership

Every engineer gets the scope, the budget and the cover they need to make the call themselves.

Frequently asked questions

What is work life like at Orrery?

Work at Orrery is flexible, deliberate and built on written context. We keep studios in Lisbon, Berlin, Dublin, Austin, Singapore and Melbourne, but you can work from wherever you do your best thinking. Everyone gets a setup stipend for the desk they actually want, and teammates in cities without a studio use the coworking benefit to stay close to other people.

How does Orrery support professional development?

Every teammate has a yearly learning budget, a named mentor outside their own team, and a standing invitation to publish. Research time is protected on the calendar, not squeezed into evenings.

What should I expect from the interview process?

Four conversations over about two weeks: an intro call, a paid work sample scoped to roughly three hours, a technical deep dive, and a session with the people you would sit beside. We send the questions ahead of time and give a decision within four days of the last round.
