About the role
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.
