Careers at DansUGC

We hire on work, not CVs.

DansUGC sells real-human video to thousands of brands, and funds a portfolio of consumer apps behind it. We're hiring 7 people. Send links instead of a CV, spend two paid weeks doing the actual job, then get a full-time offer.

Six honest reasons, and none of them are ping-pong.

Your work is live within the week.

DansUGC is a real business with real revenue — not a runway-funded experiment waiting for a launch date. What you make on Monday is in front of paying customers by Friday.

Nobody to ask permission from.

Bootstrapped, profitable, no board, no committee, no quarterly planning ritual. The entire approval process is one conversation.

You own a surface, not a ticket queue.

Seven people, seven surfaces. Whatever you take, you're the person for it — and the decisions come with it. Nobody here is handed a backlog to grind.

Two products in one job.

A marketplace with thousands of brands and 5,000+ clips, plus a rotating portfolio of consumer apps we launch and market ourselves. You get the compounding thing and the zero-to-one thing.

AI-native, actually.

Claude Code in the terminal, Gemini watching TikToks, our own admin tools for everything else. When a tool doesn't exist we build it that afternoon instead of filing a request.

Paid from the first task.

The two-week trial is real paid work at $30/hour, invoiced per task — not a free take-home assignment dressed up as a test. Your time costs money. We know.

How hiring works here.

  1. 01

    Apply

    Five minutes. One link to your work and two written answers. There is no CV field and no cover letter.

  2. 02

    A call

    Twenty minutes with Dan. A conversation about what you'd own, not a screening panel and not four rounds.

  3. 03

    Two paid weeks

    Real tasks on real work, $30/hour, paid per task. You see how we work. We see how you work. Both of those are worth more than an interview.

  4. 04

    The offer

    Work fast, work well, and it becomes full time: a $30,000–$60,000 salary, a year.

If the trial doesn't work out, you keep the money and the work you made. No unpaid tests, ever.

Apply

Five minutes. Pick the role, send one link, answer two questions. Specific answers beat polished ones.

How would you work with us?

One link that shows what you can do. This is the part we open first.

Profiles optional

Whatever you actually use. A handle or a full link — either works.

A few sentences. Specific beats impressive.

No CV, no cover letter. Dan reads every one.
