DI-DS builds and operates computer vision and AI systems for agricultural, security and federal
customers, and runs an independent AI assurance practice. The team is small, so every role here
ships work that a customer relies on.
Every stage is asynchronous until the conversation at the end.
01
Apply
A five-minute form and a resume. No cover letter. GPA is neither asked nor considered.
02
Resume review
Nathan reads every application. If it fits, a screening link arrives by email, usually within a week. If it does not, you hear that too.
03
Screening exercise
About an hour, no timer, saves as you go. Built for the role: real code, a real project of yours, a few written answers. It is the main input to the decision.
04
One conversation
Forty-five minutes on your answers and your project. Then a decision in writing.
