Careers — Build the Post-Binary Era .

We are not hiring for roles. We are assembling a team to change the axiom.

What We're Building

Aterna is doing something that has not been done before: commercialising a post-binary compute architecture, in hardware, at sovereign scale. The team that accomplishes this will have changed the foundational mathematics of computation for the first time in 75 years. That is the context in which we hire.

Where We Work

Our primary technical operations are based in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We have engineering presence associated with our USA manufacturing program and maintain a distributed research function. Relocation support is available for key hires.

How We Hire

Aterna’s hiring process is rigorous and relatively slow by startup standards. We review work samples, conduct technical discussions with the relevant team, and expect candidates to understand what FIL is before an offer is extended. If you believe you belong on this team, we want to hear from you. Send a brief introduction and examples of your most relevant work to careers@aternaworld.com.
