The problems we are working on are genuinely hard. Many smart people believed they were impossible to solve.

Life at OLIX

Impact

You will work with some of the best minds in photonics, systems, and compute on one of the defining problems of our era. It is difficult to overstate the impact a step change will have, not just for AI, but for society as a whole.

Speed

Alignment creates pace. Clear priorities and high ownership allows small teams to move faster. That compounding momentum is our competitive advantage.

Working together

OLIX is an in-person company. We believe close, daily collaboration leads to better thinking and faster progress. If you want to live close to the office so less energy is lost to long commutes, we will incentivise you to do that.

Winning together

We offer meaningful equity and benchmark-leading compensation. Early employees build significant ownership in the company and share directly in the value created. We provide access to the tools, equipment, and support required to do your best work. Whatever you need, we make it available.
