We think developers already using coding agents deserve a workspace that improves throughput without taking over model choice, routing, or spend. hob is built around developers having the freedom to own those decisions.

Previously, Director of Security Tooling R&D OpenZeppelin. Has been writing code since he was 12 - long enough to have strong opinions about the tools he's had to use for that task. hob is the one he wishes existed by now: powerful, native, and built on the belief that privacy is a right, not a premium feature.

Product-minded engineer with an unpopular opinion: most teams talk about excellence; the ones that matter actually ship it. At hob, he ensures that what gets built lands with excellence. Outside work, he's slowly becoming a barista.

Keeps hob running behind the scenes — the kind of person who notices the broken thing before anyone else does and fixes it before it becomes a meeting. Outside work, she's a seriously fast runner.

Looks at hob the way a real user would - testing the product, spotting confusing moments, and giving the team the honest feedback that makes software feel better. Her unpopular opinion: “good enough” usually isn’t. Outside work, she’s usually with her kiddo or falling into a matcha-and-macramé internet rabbit hole.

Left the corporate ladder to lead marketing at startups - first at Settle, scaling a payments app, now at hob. His unpopular opinion: no amount of marketing will sell a bad product, which is why he's here. Outside work, he's usually underwater.
