Why webAI?
At webAI we do our best to live out our core values we have put in place as the foundation on which we operate as a team. We are looking for people who are interested in personifying the same:
Truth - that which is true or in accordance with fact or reality; it’s not always easy, it’s not always pleasant, but we try to live by what reality is so we can accomplish something really cool
Ownership - the act, state or right of possessing something; we want you to fully own your responsibilities in this company, and continue to help define what fits in that purview and how we can help you be your best
Tenacity - persistent determination; we are really fired up about what we are trying to do here, and would love to have those who are fired up about what they do, to join us. If you really dig our mission, we certainly don’t mind that cherry on top
Humility - the quality of having a modest view of one’s value or importance; do we hope webAI can change the world? Certainly, but we know the only way to accomplish that is to not worry so much about the company’s accomplishments or status, but instead put all of that importance on building a world class team and treating them as such. We believe that’s the ultimate formula for success
