# Moyai

**Moyai** (`moyai.ai`) is an AI company focused on agent reliability and monitoring. [[Jan_Wilmake]] has been actively pursuing a role at Moyai since late April 2026, with the interview process reaching the intro call stage by May 2026.

## Company

Moyai was founded by **Robert Hommes** and **Vladimir Vuckovic**. On April 27, 2026, Jan researched both founders on LinkedIn while evaluating a **Founding Product Engineer** job posting from Moyai.

The company publishes a blog at `moyai.ai/blog`. On May 13, 2026, Jan performed two deep reads of the post *"Mission defines strategy, and strategy defines structure"* — first a brief glance post-meeting, then a longer 5-minute read later in the day.

### May 19: Intro Call Completed

The Moyai intro call took place on May 19, 2026, running from approximately **11:00 to 11:32 CEST**. The call was a Google Meet with two participants from Moyai's side: co-founder **Robert Hommes** and **Wijnand Karsens**.

Jan prepared a dedicated PDF slide deck titled **"Presentation for Moyai — AI Agent Reliability & Observability"**, which he reviewed ahead of the call. He also briefly checked the **Langfuse** website for context on the AI observability competitive landscape. During the call, Jan showed his **GitHub profile** (`github.com/janwilmake`), referencing his [[Self-Driving_Repos]] and other projects.

## Wijnand Karsens and the Topliner Connection

**Wijnand Karsens** appeared as a participant in Jan's intro call alongside co-founder Robert Hommes. Wijnand had previously connected Jan to Arsen Ibragimov at [[Topliner]] on May 11 — revealing him as an active participant in multiple pipeline conversations, suggesting he may be an advisor, investor, or scout across several companies in Jan's network.

## Relevance to Jan's Career

The Moyai opportunity aligns closely with Jan's stated career goals: AI/LLM-adjacent work with genuine technical depth. The Founding Product Engineer title suggests a small-team, high-ownership role — matching Jan's preference for collaboration with technically strong peers.

Moyai's focus on AI agent reliability also overlaps directly with Jan's own product work on [[Self-Driving_Repos]] (autonomous agents with budget controls) and [[OpenPolsia]] (autonomous business-managing agents), giving him relevant domain experience to discuss in interviews.
