Product Engineer

Overview

At Blacksmith, we provide cloud infra to help companies run their CI (GitHub Actions) substantially faster and cheaper. Our mission is to build a CI cloud. Our bet is that CI, as a class of workloads, is ready to be unbundled from the hyperscaler clouds (AWS/GCP/Azure). This is a bold statement, and we have an ambitious roadmap ahead.

Some things we're proud of

• We orchestrate millions of VMs for CI jobs each month over our own fleet of bare metal hardware.

• We power CI for 900+ fast-growing startups like Supabase, UserTesting, Ashby, Slope, AtoB, Pylon, and Finch.

• Founders: Aditya Maru and Aayush Shah were early systems engineers at Cockroach Labs. Aditya (JP) Jayaprakash worked on search infra and was later a founding member of the ads team at Faire.

• We went through Y Combinator's W24 batch and raised $13.5M Series A from Google Ventures

You are a good fit if you

• Have strong CS fundamentals and a deep understanding of React and modern frontend development.

• Can work closely with design to build polished, high-performance UIs — and aren’t afraid to go deep on browser performance, rendering bottlenecks, or complex component architecture.

• Have 3+ years of software development experience.

• Enjoy working in person 5 days a week in NYC or SF.

• Enjoy working at a very early-stage startup and are comfortable with ambiguity.

Bonus

• You’ve dabbled in your own side hustles or start-up projects.

• You’re comfortable creating new processes and iterating on them quickly.

• Benefits: We offer premium health, dental, and vision coverage and 16 weeks paid parental leave for new parents.

• Time off: We offer unlimited PTO and encourage folks to take their birthday off!
