Abhishek Tripathi's Stealth Founding Team Application

Every response gets read by a human.

Early-stage company at the intersection of AI and fintech, stealth for now. Small team, shipping to real users. We're hiring founding engineers. We'll tell you exactly what we're building on the first call - this form is how we decide who to have that call with.

It takes 30–45 minutes, deliberately.

01/16 Your name*

02/16 Email*

enter ↵

03/16 Links we should look at:*

X, LinkedIn, GitHub, portfolio, personal site - whatever actually represents you. One per line.

04/16 Where are you based?*

enter ↵

05/16 Which role are you applying for?* AI Founding Engineer

06/16 Where do you work now?*

Company. If you're between roles, freelancing, or studying, just say that.

enter ↵

07/16 Link us to something you built and shipped that people actually used.*

What was the hardest part? (technically, not organisationally)

enter ↵

08/16 Your agent works from incomplete, possibly stale user data, in a domain where a confidently wrong answer costs the user money. A user asks it to make a call.*

Where's the line between answering, hedging, and refusing - and how do you test that the line holds after every prompt change?

enter ↵

09/16 Tell us about an LLM feature that worked in your demo and failed in production.*

What was the failure mode, and what did you build so it couldn't happen again?

enter ↵

10/16 The hard part of an agent isn't answering, it's deciding what to say when nobody asked. Give one example of something worth interrupting the user for, and one you'd stay silent on.*

How would you measure whether you're interrupting too much or too little?

enter ↵

11/16 A feature would make answers noticeably better but adds 4 seconds and $0.10 per message.*

Ship, change, or kill it - and what would you measure to check your call?

enter ↵

12/16 What are you building right now, outside of work?*

enter ↵

Last few questions

13/16 What makes you want to work on an early AI product you can't see yet?*

enter ↵

14/16 Earliest start date*

15/16 How did you hear about this?*

enter ↵

16/16 What's unusual about this application page?optional

Anything else we should know?optional
