The linked job posting says:

> We think the most exciting thing you can do is build a great company tackling an important problem, and we work 6 days / week together in person doing that.

So it's probably accurate. Never seen that before, but it's an interesting tactic to encourage certain potential hires to self-select out of the process (for example, I would never apply to a job listing with this language). My gut reaction is that they're shooting themselves in the foot by doing this, but I have no data to back that up, and maybe the company has data indicating otherwise.



There's a certain 'techbio' startup that also has this same requirement. Judging by how long their positions tend to be open for, I would anecdotally say it's not a winning strategy.
