Work at Far Horizons

Building the Future from Everywhere and Nowhere

At Far Horizons, we don’t have a headquarters. We have horizons.

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, proving that the best innovation happens when you’re not constrained by geography. This isn’t remote work as an accommodation—it’s post-geographic operations as a philosophy.

If you’re looking for a traditional office job with fixed hours and a desk assignment, this isn’t it. But if you’re ready to work on cutting-edge AI challenges while living life on your own terms, keep reading. These are the careers and job opportunities that could change everything.

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.

Our philosophy is simple but powerful: “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, ensuring bold innovation initiatives deliver real business value without unnecessary risk.

When you join our team, you become part of this mission. You’ll help organizations reach their innovation moonshots through systematic excellence, not cowboy experimentation.

What It’s Like to Work Here

Truly Location-Independent

We mean it when we say post-geographic. Our team members have worked from:

Trains traveling 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. The constant exposure to different environments, cultures, and perspectives fuels innovation. You see applications others miss when you’re not confined to the same office, the same commute, the same routine.

Async-First, Always

With team members distributed across time zones, we’ve mastered asynchronous collaboration. This means:

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 and deliver results.
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

1. Transformation

Our guiding principle comes from Charles Du Bos: “To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.”

We seek people who embrace change, who aren’t attached to how things have always been done. If you’re constantly learning, evolving, and willing to challenge your own assumptions, you’ll thrive here.

2. Systematic Excellence

We balance cutting-edge technology with proven, systems-based approaches. The result: bold solutions that work the first time, in the real world.

We don’t move fast and break things. We move deliberately and build things that last. We simulate failures to prevent them in production. We systematically evaluate technology fit rather than chasing hype.

3. Autonomy and Ownership

We hire people who grant themselves permission. Many barriers in innovation are psychological—we need people who see possibilities, not just obstacles.

You’ll have the freedom to choose your approach, your tools (within reason), and your working environment. But with that freedom comes responsibility for outcomes. We measure impact, not hours.

4. Customer-Focused Pragmatism

Technical excellence without product-market fit is just expensive code. We’ve learned this lesson the hard way.

We demonstrate first, explain later. We build rapid proof-of-concepts. We stay close to customers and their real problems. If you’re someone who wants to solve actual business challenges—not just build cool technology—you’ll fit in perfectly.

5. 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.

If you can admit when you’re wrong, change your mind based on evidence, and engage in respectful debate, you’ll find kindred spirits here.

What We Look for in Team Members

Must-Haves

1. Technical Excellence You don’t need to know everything, but you need to be exceptional at something. Deep expertise in AI/ML, full-stack development, or technical architecture.

2. Autonomous Operation You can work independently without constant direction. You communicate proactively, ask clarifying questions, and take ownership of outcomes.

3. Adaptability Technology changes. Client needs evolve. Travel disrupts routines. You navigate change with resilience and resourcefulness.

4. Customer Empathy You genuinely care about solving real problems for real people. You can put yourself in the customer’s shoes and understand their context.

5. Clear Communication In an async, distributed environment, written communication is critical. You can explain complex technical concepts clearly and concisely.

Nice-to-Haves

Experience with digital nomad lifestyle or long-term travel
Multiple technology waves under your belt (you’ve seen hype cycles before)
Comfort with startup pace and enterprise politics
Background in innovation labs or R&D
Public speaking, writing, or teaching experience
Multilingual capabilities

Red Flags

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
