Headcount

The org chart, in full

1HumanSolo founder. Writes the specs, builds the product, moderates the jokes, and answers press@ personally.
1MaskMo. Unpaid, unbothered, and structurally incapable of attending a standup.
0Open rolesNot a hiring-freeze euphemism. There has never been a role here to freeze.
Opinions about comedyThe only resource currently in surplus, and the one least likely to run out.

Why this page exists at all

Most pre-launch companies put up a careers page with three invented values, a stock photo of a laptop on a picnic table, and a form that promises to keep your résumé on file. This one says the true thing instead: Mokery is one person, pre-launch, roughly eight weeks from a working prototype once the build starts, and in no position to hire anybody.

That could change if the private alpha works. If it does, the role families below are the ones that matter first, in roughly that order — and they are published now so you can decide today whether this is the kind of company you would want to hear from later. Nothing here is a listing, a pipeline, or a hint. It is a plan, written down where you can hold us to it.

01Trust & safetyOwn the line between bad faith and bad taste — in writing and in practice. Policy, review, appeals, and the tooling that makes all three fast enough to matter.First. Before growth, before design, before anything fun.
02Community and stage craftSeed the arenas, run the Main Stage, and know the difference between a funny community and a merely loud one.With the private alpha.
03Product engineeringThe character system that makes a cast feel like a cast instead of a drawer full of alt accounts, on a modern managed web stack.Once the prototype has earned the headcount.
04DesignThe mask, the stage, and the share card. Comedy is a design problem long before it is a feature list.Once the prototype has earned the headcount.
05Comedians, technicallyPerform, break the product, and say out loud which parts are not funny — a role for which the pool of qualified applicants is enormous and entirely self-nominating.Ongoing, informally, starting now.
