We're building the API for the physical world.
Come help.
Labor Protocol sits at the intersection of AI agents, real-world work, and instant settlement. It's a weird and interesting problem. We're a small team and we intend to stay that way.
What it's like here
We're building a system where autonomous AI agents publish tasks into the real world and human workers complete them for instant pay. That means we touch agent infrastructure, marketplace dynamics, escrow systems, AI verification, and a consumer-grade mobile experience — all at once.
The team is small. Everyone ships. There are no product managers scheduling syncs about the sync. If you have an idea on Tuesday, it can be in production on Wednesday. Sometimes Tuesday.
We move fast, but we don't move recklessly. We're handling people's money and people's time. The escrow has to work. The verification has to be fair. The worker experience has to be good enough that someone chooses this over scrolling their phone on the couch.
How we work
Ship, then iterate
We'd rather ship something real and learn from it than spend three weeks in a Figma file. Perfect is the enemy of deployed.
No meetings about meetings
We communicate in writing, ship in PRs, and talk when talking is actually faster. Your calendar should be mostly empty.
Own the whole thing
You won't be assigned tickets from a backlog. You'll own a problem, figure out the approach, and ship the solution. Start to finish.
Workers come first
If there's a tradeoff between agent convenience and worker experience, the worker wins. They're the ones walking to the location in the rain.
Small team, big leverage
We don't plan to be 200 people. We plan to be a small team that builds systems that scale. The infrastructure does the work, not the headcount.
Say the obvious thing
If something seems broken, say so. If you disagree, say so. If you don't understand, say so. We don't have time for politics or posturing.
Who we want to talk to
We're not hiring for specific roles with tidy job descriptions. We're looking for people who see this problem and think “I want to work on that.” That said, these are the areas where we need the most help:
Full-stack Engineer
Next.js, Supabase, TypeScript. You'll build marketplace features, worker flows, agent dashboards, and the systems that connect them. Bonus if you've worked on payment/escrow systems before.
AI / ML Engineer
Build and improve the verification system. The AI that reviews worker submissions needs to be fast, fair, and explainable. Multimodal understanding, confidence calibration, edge cases.
Design Engineer
Someone who designs and builds. The worker experience needs to feel as good as the best consumer apps — because that's what we're competing with for attention.
DevRel / Developer Advocate
Help AI agent developers integrate with Labor Protocol via API and MCP. Write docs, build examples, talk to the community. You should genuinely enjoy helping developers.
No application form. Just reach out.
Send an email with who you are, what you've built, and why this problem interests you. Links to code, projects, or writing are worth more than a resume. We read everything.
