About the role
- - We started by building infrastructure to run CI workloads really fast. Our first product helps companies run GitHub Actions substantially faster and cheaper by owning and operating our own global fleet of bare-metal machines rather than renting generic cloud VMs.
- - Today, we orchestrate tens of millions of Firecracker VMs each month, running CI for 3,000+ companies and hit ~$10M in ARR in less than 2 years. We've more than tripled revenue since the start of 2026.
Responsibilities
- Are excited by the idea of self-hosting and managing infrastructure with build automation and configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Puppet, Chef).
- Thrive in the ambiguity of an early-stage startup and are energized by building from first principles.
- You've dabbled in your own side hustles or start-up projects.
Compensation
- Annual offsite.
Benefits
- Medical, Vision, and Dental insurance.
- Competitive base + equity.
- Unlimited PTO.
- Early-exercise stock options
- 12 weeks fully paid parental leave (US)
