About the role
MadeThis is your AI co-founder. Describe a business and it builds it, launches it, and runs it, autonomously. We're 3 people with 30,000+ businesses on the platform, $0 to $1M in revenue in our first 90 days, on track for $10M ARR by December. For enterprises, we integrate with their existing business infrastructure (CRM, ERM, EOR, etc.) and automate repeatable business operations with “AI employees”.
What you'll do
- Embed with one enterprise customer and own the outcome, from the first audit to a working AI employee.
- Build their company brain: connect the tools, model the workflows, train the agent on their best people.
- Work on-site. You're the face of MadeThis inside their walls.
What success looks like in your first 30 days
- Sourced, closed, and implemented a mid-market or enterprise deal worth $60k in annual contract value.
- Built repeatable systems from that first deal so the next ones close and deploy faster.
You might be a fit if
- You're a strong generalist engineer who likes shipping inside someone else's world.
- You can sit with a CEO in the morning and debug a pipeline in the afternoon.
- You want ownership of a customer, not a queue of tickets.
Details
- San Francisco, Salt Lake City, or New York
