About Factor
Software powers up-to-date civilization.
It runs financial systems, healthcare, transportation, communications, scientific research, governments, and increasingly, artificial intelligence itself.
Building software has never been easier. AI is rapidly reducing the cost of writing code, generating tests, and implementing features.
But one fundamental challenge remains:
Understanding software.
Every meaningful engineering decision begins with understanding:
- What does this change affect?
- What depends on it?
- What assumptions could it violate?
- What should be tested?
- Can it be deployed safely?

Today, engineers answer these questions by manually reconstructing complex systems—reading code, tracing dependencies, searching documentation, and relying on tribal knowledge.
As software becomes larger, more distributed, and increasingly AI-generated, this manual understanding becomes the limiting factor.
At Factor,



we are building the intelligence layer that enables software systems to be understood before they change.
Our mission is to accelerate humanity's ability to build trustworthy software systems—software that can be understood, validated, and evolved with confidence.
We are looking for our first engineers to help build this foundation.
