What Beaconai's application asks

Across the 2 application forms Otto has filled at Beaconai: 19 distinct questions, 12 of them usually required. A single application works out at about 2 minutes once you have your details to hand. It runs on Ashby.

13 are Beaconai’s own, not boxes every form has:

• tell us about (or post links to or send a loom) a cool thing you've built:
• we make life-saving and efficiency-improving technology. as an early-stage startup, it is important that…
• which level best reflects your experience and the role you are looking to step into?
• what is your favorite airplane? (any answer will do!)
• were you referred? if so, please share who referred you.
• are you available to start full-time employment within the next 30 days? (if not, please indicate your…
• are you currently authorized to work lawfully in the united states?
• are you presently a us person? a “u.s. person” is defined as a: lawful permanent resident: u.s. citizen or…

and 5 more.

Read off the forms themselves, last checked 2026-09-22, because Otto fills them in and has to read them first. Roles differ, so the estimate is per application rather than for the list above: each question counts for its cost times how often this employer actually requires it. A written answer is 2½ minutes, a dropdown 12 seconds, a yes/no 5 seconds, attaching a file 45 seconds. The list leaves out name-and-email boxes and anything Ashby puts on every employer’s form.
