Shape the Future With Us

At Mpalo, we're not just building AI; we're crafting a new paradigm for intelligence, memory, and human-AI collaboration. Join a team where your curiosity, expertise, and humanity are our greatest assets.

Why Choose Mpalo?

Share in Our Collective Dream

Mpalo is more than a company; it's a shared pursuit. We believe that true innovation blossoms from collaboration and mutual respect. Here, you're not an employee; you're a valued coworker, integral to our journey.

  • Shared Success: We are committed to a revolutionary model where 20% of company resources are collectively dedicated to our coworkers. This means:
    • 15% for Coworker Shares: A significant portion of company revenue is allocated to a share program, distributed equally amongst all coworkers, making everyone a true stakeholder in Mpalo's future.
    • 5% Collective Budget: This portion forms a collective budget managed by the coworkers. The history of purchases will be transparent to all. Larger purchases will require consensus, and all expenditures are reviewed by a validation team. Initially, while we are remote-first and building our foundations, these funds will be reinvested into vital research resources. Once Mpalo establishes a physical headquarters, this budget will empower coworkers to shape their environment—funding team room personalizations, shared office amenities, and initiatives that enhance our collective workspace.
  • Pioneering Research: Contribute to revolutionary work in human-like episodic memory for AI, with long-term ambitions in consciousness and robotics.

A Culture of Well-being & Growth

We're building a sustainable, supportive environment where you can do your best work without sacrificing your well-being. Your growth is our growth.

  • Genuine Flexibility & Burnout Prevention: We understand that creativity and deep thinking require rejuvenation. If you feel burnt out or need a creative reset, Mpalo will support you. This includes provisions for creative leave, allowing you to pursue a passion project, undertake an expedition, or simply recharge—funded by Mpalo. Your mental and physical well-being is paramount and directly fuels our collective innovation.
  • Remote-First, Human-Centric: Work from where you thrive. We foster a strong sense of community through transparent communication, shared goals, and intentional connection, regardless of physical location.
  • Ethical Foundations: Be part of a company deeply committed to privacy, user control (BYOVS model), and the ethical advancement of AI. We believe in people over profit and technology that serves humanity.

We're looking for individuals who don't just seek a job, but a purpose. If you're driven by curiosity, appreciate the profound questions of existence, and believe in building technology that empowers humanity, you might be one of us.
