A bit about us
Our founders bring experience from the AI research frontier and from building power tools for operations teams. Both love a good user experience, and love working to bring the research frontier of AI into the application layer.

Before founding Lorikeet, Steve led product teams at Stripe and Watershed in San Francisco, building tooling to enable complex processes like carbon accounting and financial reporting at scale.
Hear Steve talk about Lorikeet's operating principles.
Jamie was a research tech lead at Google Brain, leading research on factual grounding in large language models. He was the third named author on Google's breakthrough 2022 LaMDA paper.

This is how we like to work
Our operating principles are fluid. They sometimes reflect how we work, how we work at our best, or how we aspire to work but don't always achieve.

We set an ambitious pace, and make it
sustainable with ruthless focus.
This is most commonly a game of inches: small day-by-day decisions that compound into company-changing effects on velocity. We interrogate what matters most (starting with users) and focus on that.

We prioritise agency, empowerment,
conviction, and accountability.
We act with agency, are empowered to own things, make high-
conviction decisions, and take accountability for the outcomes.
Change the things you want to change. You don’t need permission.

We (really, really) start
from the user.
Lots of companies have a principle that the user comes first. We really mean it. We are playing a long-term game based on the idea that understanding our users and treating them well is the best path to win.

We are truly excellent to
each other.
Being excellent to each other is unusually important to Lorikeet. We will not tolerate “brilliant jerks” (or just jerks). If you want to work with us, be prepared to treat your colleagues excellently; they'll do the same.

"I love that our core focus is improving CX: it's not to maximise our use of AI, it's to make support better for everyone. I get to work alongside so many clever and kind people who I'm comfortable challenging (and being challenged by), which makes this place really special."

"I don't buy the AI hype. But I joined Lorikeet because of how the team sees AI. As Steve puts it, “What matters in our space is how to solve specific problems. Agents are the how, not the why.” We focus on solving problems, and by starting with the most challenging (and customer-facing) use cases. We've built something special, and this focus was a key factor."

"Some of the best career advice I’ve received is to keep chasing 'the new thing'. I’m learning an insane amount every day and loving it. I’m also genuinely energised by my work—and I think a big part of that is because Lorikeet’s operating principles, like ‘We (really really) start from the user’ and ‘We are truly excellent to each other’, align closely with my own values."
