A Limbo Profile conveys experience and skills while remaining anonymous. Why? We not only allow multiple Profiles, we encourage it. Be bold with each one. Try different angles for different types of work you’re interested in. Be explicit about your ideal position and work environment.
We’ll autosave as you work and you can preview your Profile at any time. Have fun with it!
Profile pseudonym:
Hello! It looks like you’re new here so we’ll create an account for you. Or Sign In. By joining, you agree to our Code of Conduct and Terms of Service.
Software Engineer or other technical track—Ops, Data Science, Etc. (Eng managers and CTOs with reports, choose Management.)
Manager, Director, VP or C-level manager. If you don't intend to have reports, another domain is a better fit.
Product Manager or other product facing less-technical track like a Project Manager or Strategist.
Designer of any or all facets: UX, UI, IA, IxD. If you’re technical as well, create multiple profiles for each domain.
You’re only interested in local work and don't want to work primarily remotely.
You’re open to remote work but also happy with local work in an office.
You’re only interested in remote work. Not interested in working locally.
You set this Profile to Remote only so you don’t need to choose cities. You still can if you want to though. Choose cities
We recommend choosing up to 3 cities, as that correlates with more reveal requests—too many is confusing for hiring managers. If you’re open to relocating, add cities where you’d like to move.
Some companies may only be able to employ folks authorized to work in the USA.
While working remotely time zone is often important for coordination.
If you could have any title, what would it be? If you're not sure, put your current title or a step up. Technical track examples: Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer, Data Scientist. Management track examples: Engineering Manager, Head of Product, VP of Engineering, CEO (dream big!) Product track examples: Product Manager, Staff Product Manager, Strategist, Project Manager. Design track examples: User Experience Designer, Content Strategist, Designer, Head of Design (if without reports)
The intro to your Profile. What distinguishes you? What are you looking for in your next role? What should a potential hiring manager know about you? This is the primary spot to describe yourself and what you want. To help keep you anonymous, use different language than you do on other public profiles like LinkedIn.
I'm a mix of artist and full stack engineer. I love building creative work and seeing people use it - I've built things like art management systems, museum displays and educational kiosks for clients. I primarily work in JS, Python and Sketch.
I've been incredibly lucky to be able to use those skills to grow a career. I'll be newly moving to Chicago in 3 months, so I'm looking for a small local team to join that could flex those muscles.
I am an infrastructure engineer specializing in scaling platforms. I've tuned web servers, worked down to writing C for critical performance tasks, and set up clean AWS environments for startups in the Bay Area for 7 years.
I'm looking for a new role at a startup in distributed systems. I'm an infrastructure engineer by trade but this has been an interest of mine for years. I'd like to be on a team of smart folks who are experts in this field to learn from. If this sounds like a match, I'd love to hear from you.
Hello! 👋 I've been managing small product teams in large companies for over 5 years, and am looking for my next role as a director. I'm particularly interested in helping scale organizational culture and developing great, effective product teams. Company values and mission are very important to me - I am particularly excited about education, philanthrophy, and politics. I prefer consumer platforms but am open to hearing about other opportunities as well.
Put each project on a new line.
Describe 1 to 3 projects you've been involved with. Max 140 characters each. Don’t include URLs to projects if they can identify you.
The best examples are ones that showcase the specifics of a particular project or effort you’ve undertaken - solo or with a group. If you have it, the business value it derived is also useful.
What values do you look for in an organization? In what sort of environment and team size do you thrive? What makes you proud to be part of a company?
You can stop here if you want to. Below is optional information, which will make for a more thorough Profile. Take a look at your Profile and decide what else you would like to add.
These will make for a more interesting profile and better describe your requirements to potential hiring managers. Fill out as many as you like, the more the better.
You don't consider yourself a member of an underrepresented group or you'd just prefer not to disclose that info.
You consider yourself a member of an underrepresented group and would like to display that on your profile.
This can be beneficial for companies working to improve their diversity. Underrepresented groups contain but aren't limited to things like race, gender identity, disability, etc.
These will help people find your Profile. Comma-separated. Use as many as you need.
We don't ask for institution. It can make you easy to identify. Also, its industry usefulness is debatable. If you feel strongly your Alma Mater is important, you can add it as a Trait below.
Pick as many traits as you feel describe your history. More is better.
Company history can be risky in terms of determining your identity. We recommend not sharing company information unless it is critical to your value and the company is > 2,500 people.
There are required fields you’ll need to complete before submitting.
When you’re happy with your Profile, submit it for review. A human at Limbo will review your Profile. This could take up to 36 hours, depending on our volume.
