Frequently Asked Questions
Is UWAZI.AI remote?
Yes. We're a remote-friendly, async-first team. We prioritize outcomes over hours logged and believe strong documentation enables great remote work.
What does non-partisan mean here?
We do not persuade, advocate, or favor any political position. We clarify facts, show sources, and let people make informed decisions. Our technology is designed to be transparent, traceable, and accountable.
How do you protect data?
Privacy by default is a core value. We minimize data collection, encrypt user data, and build systems where trust is verifiable—not just promised. We design with consent, transparency, and security from day one.
What is the interview process?
Our process is conversational and skills-focused: (1) Initial call to understand fit and alignment, (2) Skills assessment or work sample, (3) Team interview to discuss collaboration, (4) Final conversation with leadership. We value your time and keep feedback loops tight.
Can I apply without a traditional background?
Absolutely. We care about what you can do, what you've learned, and how you think—not where you went to school or what's on your resume. If you're mission-aligned, curious, and can deliver quality work, we want to hear from you.
