Jobs at Cartesia

What Cartesia's application asks

Across the one application form Otto has filled at Cartesia: 13 distinct questions, 8 of them usually required. A single application works out at about 4 minutes once you have your details to hand. It runs on Ashby.

5 are Cartesia’s own, not boxes every form has:

• why cartesia?
• google scholar
• portfolio/personal site
• are you authorized to work in the united states without sponsorship?
• are you open to being on-site in our san francisco office 4–5 days per week?

Read off the forms themselves, last checked 2026-09-04, 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.
