Careers
Nerds wanted: first‑principles, fundamentals, and building.
We Hire Owners
We look for people who obsess over craft, learn fast, and think from first principles. If you love business models, moats, and building tools — you’ll fit right in.
We hire people with at least 2 years of full-time, post-graduation work experience. We are not currently accepting cold applications from students or first-jobbers.

Internships
By referral only — closed to cold applications
Internships at Pkeday are filled through referrals from people we already know and trust — current team members, portfolio founders, or longstanding collaborators. We are not accepting cold applications for internships at this time.
If you're a student or recent graduate and someone in our network knows your work, ask them to introduce you. Otherwise, please apply again once you have a couple of years of full-time experience.
