Careers at Chalk

Working here pushes you to master systems programming at a speed you can't get anywhere else, because the problems we tackle here have a theoretical bent that’s genuinely hard to find in corporate software jobs. This is where you come to level up.

When I first came to the Chalk office for my onsite, I saw an interesting problem scribbled on the chalkboard. When I asked how they solved it and they mentioned bloom filters, I knew right away that these were the people I wanted to build with.

What began as wild whiteboarding sessions in our NY office has evolved into a real growth engine. We’re building a GTM team that’s sharp, creative, while doubling down on what works. If you want to help shape how truly groundbreaking AI reaches the market, this is the place to be.

I think being around sharp, driven people naturally elevates your own work. It's no surprise we have chess IMs and competitive Smash players on the team - people here bring that same intensity to everything they do. It makes our weekly board game nights pretty memorable too.

If I had to describe Chalk in a nutshell, it's nice nerds solving interesting problems together. One of my favorite activities here is the biweekly book club on AI/ML - it's refreshing to collaborate with people who are brilliant but also down-to-earth and fun to be around.

It's cool to get a front row seat to a company powering the backbone of one of the most exciting industries in the world right now. But what truly keeps me here is the culture of ownership. No BS, no office politics, just the freedom to move fast and see your impact immediately.
