Apply to Aleten

Eight fields and a CV. The form writes to our own database, a person reads every application, and there is no third-party applicant tracking system. If you would rather not use a form, work@aleten.com reaches a person directly.

The bot filter, stated plainly

The submit button unlocks about a minute after the page loads, and while you type your browser solves a small computational puzzle in the background. Submissions that arrive faster than a person can fill a form, or without the solved puzzle, are dropped, and each email address can apply to each role once. None of this involves a third-party service, and none of it can tell a careful machine from a careful person; it only makes carelessness expensive.

The form

What we ask, and why

Name, email and date of birth identify you; where you are based tells us your working hours; the link and the note are the part we actually read first. Point us at one careful artefact rather than a long list.

What we store: exactly these fields, your CV file, and a hashed network identifier used for rate limiting. It is read for hiring and used for nothing else. Delete requests to work@aleten.com are honoured.

Country is enough; a city is fine if you prefer.
Something we can read: a repository, a paper, a published grammar, a build log.
A few lines on what you have done and why this role. No cover letter needed.
One file, PDF or Word, up to eight megabytes.
