My company, Antithesis, is building a fully in-person team. We have worked on hard projects before -- we built FoundationDB -- and this is the model that we found works for complex, audacious projects. Working closely on design at a whiteboard or coding as a pair is just far more rewarding in person. And in order to grow fast we need high bandwidth, low latency knowledge transfer options. Again, that's also just clearly more feasible in-person. And, of course, there's the great chance to increase team trust and cohesion through chance conversations and occasional lunches together. What we're working on now is both more complex and more audacious that FoundationDB: therefore we are all together in the office.

It's true that there are some downsides from the company's perspective: we have a smaller pool of talent to pull from and the office environment can be interrupt prone. Both, however, we think are more than offset by the upsides.

We're located in Northern VA and growing! Check out a list of jobs at https://antithesis.breezy.hr/ or, if you love building complex things and are great to work with, just shoot us a message at [e-mail].
