Come build with us.
Flagon is a small crew of misfits making software worth using, in the open. We hire rarely and carefully. If the way we work sounds like the place you’ve been looking for, we’d love to hear from you.
A place built for people who care about the work
No games, no busywork, nothing hidden. Here's what you'd actually be signing up for.
Real ownership
Small autonomous teams and high trust. You own what you ship, end to end, and you have the room to do it right.
Craft is the job
We’d rather make one genuinely good thing than ten that are fine. Taste and quality aren’t a luxury here, they’re the point.
Everything in the open
The handbook, the reasoning, the decisions. You always know where you stand and why, because it’s written down.
Remote-first, for real
Async by default so timezones don’t trap anyone. We optimize for outcomes, not hours or a webcam grid.
Paid by a formula
Same transparent framework for everyone, no negotiation games. You can calculate the offer before you ever talk to us.
The long game
No quick exit, no burnout-as-a-badge. We’re building somewhere worth staying for years.
Fair, transparent, no haggling
Every role is paid by the same published formula, and everyone gets equity. Beyond salary: remote-first, real time off that people actually take, an equipment and learning budget, and a bias toward removing friction over gimmick perks.
A process that respects your time
No whiteboard trivia and no take-it-or-leave-it games. We look at real work, we pay you for a work sample, we’re clear about where you stand, and when we say no we tell you why. It’s all written down before you apply.
No listings up right now
We hire in small, deliberate bursts, so most of the time this page is quiet. That doesn't mean don't reach out.
If you’re exceptional at what you do and this is the kind of place you’ve been looking for, don’t wait for a listing. Tell us who you are, what you’ve made, and what you’d want to work on. We read every note.
