The people behind Writence
A small team, building for a large one.
We’re a remote-first group of engineers, designers, and researchers. Most of us write English as a second language — which is exactly why we build the way we do.
THE TEAM
Who’s building this
Small enough that everyone talks to writers; deliberate enough that everything ships with the mission in mind.
Alex
Founder & Engineering
Started Writence after the AI-detection research made the bias impossible to ignore. Writes English as a second language.
Maya
Product Design
Shapes how the tools feel — calm, legible, and out of the writer’s way. Believes good design is mostly restraint.
Lena
Research
Tracks the literature on ESL writing and detection bias, and keeps the product honest about what the evidence does and doesn’t say.
Daniel
Engineering
Builds the shared engine behind Diglot and Copyeditor — the translation, drafting, and authorship layers.
Sofia
ML / NLP
Works on the language and model routing that make second-language writing feel native without flattening the writer’s voice.
Tomas
Support & Operations
Closest to the people who use the products. Turns what writers tell us into the next thing we fix.
HOW WE WORK
What it’s like to build here
Remote-first
Distributed by default, async by habit. We hire for craft and judgment, not a time zone or a postcode.
Bilingual by experience
Most of us write English as a second language. We build the workflow we wished existed when we were the user.
Evidence over opinion
When we disagree, we reach for the research. The mission is grounded in studies, and so are our product calls.
We’re hiring
Always glad to meet exceptional people
We don’t open roles often, but we’re always open to engineers, designers, and researchers who care about getting this right. If that’s you, the careers page is the place to start.
Build for the
writers who try hardest.
