Work at Far Horizons
Building the Future from Everywhere and Nowhere
Our team operates from trains crossing Europe, cafes in Southeast Asia, and home offices across continents. We've worked from 53 countries over six years.
Our Mission: Innovation Engineered for Impact
Far Horizons transforms organizations through systematic adoption of emerging technology. We specialize in AI and LLM implementation, bringing disciplined innovation to enterprises and startups navigating the complexity of transformation.
"You don't get to the moon by being a cowboy."
The Apollo program succeeded through rigorous testing, systematic risk assessment, and methodical problem-solving—not reckless experimentation. We apply that same discipline to AI adoption.
What It's Like to Work Here
This isn't remote work as an accommodation—it's post-geographic operations as a philosophy.
Truly Location-Independent
Our team members have worked from:
- Trains across European capitals
- Beach towns in Thailand and Bali
- Mountain villages in the Alps
- Home offices in North America and Australia
- Co-working spaces in dozens of cities
Motion isn't a disruption to our work—it's a feature.
Async-First, Always
Deep work time
No constant meeting interruptions. You control your schedule.
Written communication
We document decisions, share context, and communicate with clarity.
Trust and autonomy
We hire people who don't need supervision. You're trusted to manage your own time.
Flexibility
Morning person? Night owl? Parent managing school schedules? Design your workday around your life.
Small Team, Big Impact
We operate with a small core team (2-several people depending on active projects), scaling through collaboration rather than headcount. This means every person matters. Your voice is heard. Your decisions have impact. You're not a cog in a machine—you're a critical part of a precision instrument.
Our Culture and Values
Transformation
"To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become." — Charles Du Bos
We seek people who embrace change, who aren't attached to how things have always been done.
Systematic Excellence
We don't move fast and break things. We move deliberately and build things that last. We simulate failures to prevent them in production.
Autonomy and Ownership
We hire people who grant themselves permission. You'll have freedom to choose your approach, tools, and working environment—with responsibility for outcomes.
Customer-Focused Pragmatism
Technical excellence without product-market fit is just expensive code. We demonstrate first, explain later. We stay close to customers and their real problems.
Intellectual Honesty
We call out BS, including our own. We discuss failures openly. We're critical thinkers who balance optimism about technology with realism about adoption challenges.
Types of Roles and Opportunities
What we look for: Deep understanding of LLMs and AI systems, ability to bridge technical and business contexts, track record of shipping production AI systems, comfort with ambiguity.
What we look for: Polyglot engineers comfortable across multiple languages and frameworks, pragmatic tool selection, ability to make architectural decisions, commitment to quality without perfectionism.
What we look for: 10+ years of software development experience, proven leadership in technical and people management, comfort working with C-suite executives, strategic thinking combined with hands-on capability.
What we look for: Pattern recognition across industries, ability to assess technical feasibility quickly, strategic business thinking, excellent communication with technical and executive audiences.
What We Look For in Team Members
Technical Excellence
You don't need to know everything, but you need to be exceptional at something.
Autonomous Operation
You can work independently without constant direction.
Adaptability
You navigate change with resilience and resourcefulness.
Customer Empathy
You genuinely care about solving real problems for real people.
Clear Communication
You can explain complex technical concepts clearly and concisely.
- Experience with digital nomad lifestyle or long-term travel
- Multiple technology waves under your belt
- Comfort with startup pace and enterprise politics
- Background in innovation labs or R&D
- Public speaking, writing, or teaching experience
- Multilingual capabilities
We're probably not a good fit if you:
- Need close supervision and daily check-ins
- Require an office environment to be productive
- Expect AI to magically solve undefined problems
- Prioritize process over outcomes
- Can't handle ambiguity or changing requirements
- Want to build before validating with customers
