Job description
**MadeThis** is your AI co-founder. Describe a business and it builds it, launches it, and runs it, autonomously. The agent writes the code, ships the product, answers the customers, and spends the ad budget. We're 3 people with 30,000+ businesses on the platform. We went from $0 to $1M in revenue in our first 90 days and we're on track for $10M ARR by December. We're hiring our first engineers to build self-driving businesses at scale, for the people whose livelihoods now depend on them. **What you'll do** \- Own core platform systems end to end: the agent runtime, billing, deploys, the storefront fleet. \- Scale infrastructure that runs tens of thousands of live businesses, each with real customers and real revenue. \- Ship daily. The distance between an idea and a customer using it is hours. \- Work directly with the founders. No layers between you and the decisions. **What success looks like in your first 30 days** \- Shipped or improved features driving a $1M+ lift in platform revenue. \- Dozens of PRs merged and running in production. \- Evolved our software factory so the agents that build our customers' businesses produce measurably higher quality code. \- Saved MadeThis millions by optimizing infrastructure spend. **You might be a fit if** \- You have deep expertise in a business function you've worked in before, like finance, marketing, sales, growth, or product, and you can build. \- Or you're a deep infrastructure engineer who wants their work to reach real businesses the same day it ships. \- Data or ML experience is a plus. \- You want ownership of problems, not a queue of tickets. **Details** \- San Francisco, in person \- $250k+ salary, 1%+ equity \- Hiring 1 to 3 for this role Skip the cover letter. Send us the best thing you've built and a few lines about why this. A link beats a résumé.
