# Careers at Deputant > Help people use any agent. Source: https://deputant.com/careers.html Deputant is early, and the team is small. We hire few people, and the bar is high. ## A hard problem that people feel A new AI agent comes out every week. Each one asks for your passwords, apps, and memories again. We are building one vault that every agent can use. A privacy filter gives each agent only what it needs. ### Start at the beginning We have not launched yet. Your work shapes the first version. ### Build for every agent Make one setup work with every agent, including agents that do not exist yet. ### Build for everyone We build for everyday people. Clear and safe is better than clever. ## Small team, plain words ### Say it plainly We write short notes and talk directly. Simple words lead to clear decisions. ### Watch real people We watch people use agents. Then we build what they need. ### Ask first Our users approve what agents and humans do. We build that rule into every feature. ## Open roles We want to hire these six people first. Each one owns a large part of Deputant.
