The first-principles path
01
Pick the door
Not a job title, a door: the role archetype that hires proof over pedigree. It is listed on every page below.
02
Study who gets in
Each company selects on a pattern. Read it. Becoming the pattern beats persuading the recruiter.
03
Build the artifact
One purpose-built project on their platform, deployed, demoable in one link. The spec is on each page.
04
Publish and route it
Post it publicly and tag the team, then get it to a named human: a warm intro beats the portal by an order of magnitude.
05
Apply with proof attached
Now the application is a formality confirming what the team already saw.
Your artifact for Notion
A Notion API tool with real users, or a run education program on the platform: the campus model is a door here, walk through it with numbers.
