Founders read your code.
There is no junior team you'll be handed off to. The four people who founded the company are the four people who'll review your work and give you feedback.

Legion is hiring six founding-team roles. Small team, broad scope, real ownership. We pay competitively and we tell you the salary in the JD. We don't waste anyone's time.
// How we work 01 02 03 04 05 06
Six commitments. We hold ourselves to them, and you can hold us to them too.
Calm cadence, real shipping.
No crunch. No "startup hours." We work hard during business hours and ship the rest of the day. The product line tells you we hit our cadence.
Salary is in the JD.
Every role lists a real, current-USD band. We don't negotiate against ourselves and we don't gate the number behind a phone call.
Equity is meaningful.
Founding-team roles get founding-team equity. The cap table is public to the team on day one. We talk about it openly.
Async-first.
Most of the company runs on writing. Meetings have agendas and produce docs. Time zones are a constraint we design around, not a thing we ignore.
One spec, many roles.
Engineers ship copy. Designers write tickets. Marketing reads PRs. Specialization is fine — silos are not. Everyone touches the product.

Apply via contact // EngineeringFounding Engineer · Atlas

Apply via contact // GrowthDeveloper Marketing Lead
Run developer marketing across the line — Secure's lead-gen, Atlas's beta funnel, the Code waitlist, the Research drumbeat. You've been the first marketing hire at a dev-tools company before.

Half-day on-site (or remote-equivalent)
A working session with the team. We pair, we eat, we talk about the strategy. You leave with a clear sense of whether this is for you.

We don't make you wait. The number, the equity, the start date, the first 90 days — all in the offer.
