Build Something Real
Akradan solves a real problem: teams and groups need to collaborate with AI without vendor lock-in or surprise bills. You'll be building a product people actually use and love. No bullshit. No hype.
Own Your Work
You're not a cog in a machine. You'll have clear ownership over features or domains. You'll see your code in production. You'll know exactly how your work impacts users.
Bootstrapped & Independent
We've built Akradan without VC funding. This means we're not beholden to growth-at-all-costs. We make decisions based on what's right for users and the business, not quarterly burn targets.
Transparency First
You'll know our numbers. You'll understand the business model. You'll have input into major decisions. We don't hide information from the team.
Async-First Culture
Akradan is built for async-first collaboration. We're not all in an office. We respect your time, your schedule, and your ability to focus deeply.
Who We Are
Zao
Founder & CEO
Product, Strategy, Vision
“I built Akradan to solve the fragmentation problem — too many AI tools, no single place to collaborate, and no way to own your history.”
Shojibur
Lead Developer
Implementation, Feature Development
“Every feature we ship is something real users asked for. Building here means seeing your work matter immediately.”
We're Hiring For
All roles are remote. We hire based on talent and mission alignment, not geography.
Our Operating Model
Async-First
We're remote and async. We respect deep work time. Communication happens in writing, thoughtfully, with time for people to respond.
Shipping Small & Often
We ship frequently. A good PR every 2–3 days. Features launch when they're ready. This keeps momentum and feedback loops tight.
Direct Communication
No layers of management or hierarchy. You can talk directly to Zao, to the team, to customers. Feedback flows both ways.
Customer Close
Everyone talks to users. Engineers get on calls with customers. You'll know why features matter and what problems you're solving.
Ownership Culture
You're not a ticket-taker. You own your domain. You propose ideas, debate tradeoffs, decide. Mistakes are learning opportunities.
What We Offer
Competitive Salary
Market-rate compensation. Transparent comp bands, competitive with SaaS/AI startups in your region.
Equity Options
You'll have equity (stock options) in Akradan. You're building something real — you should benefit from that.
Flexible Remote Work
Remote work. Flexible hours. No mandatory meetings at 6 AM. We trust you to do your job well.
Learning & Development
Budget for courses, conferences, and books. Propose a learning goal — we'll fund it.
Home Office Setup
Budget for home office equipment. You need a good desk and monitor to do your best work.
Unlimited PTO
Seriously. Take the time you need. We track usage to make sure you're taking enough.
How to Apply
No gotchas. No surprise questions. We want to hire people, not filter them out with nonsense.
