Job description

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 600+ fast-growing startups like Ashby, Slope, AtoB, Pylon, Superblocks, 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 our seed round from Google Ventures.
  • We're growing extremely fast and hit $1m ARR with a team of just 4 in less than 12 months.

You are a good fit if you :

  • Want to operate as a true thought partner to the founders. You're not looking to just execute tasks. You want a seat at the table and a say in how the company is run.
  • Are ambitious, driven, and want to fast-track your career by getting exposure to everything from fundraising to strategy to product. You want to be in the room where it happens.
  • Thrive in high-stakes environments where precision, speed, and judgment matter. You think like an owner and act like one too.
  • Have a strong bias for action. You spot problems before others do, bring structure to chaos, and make things happen without needing permission.
  • Are analytically sharp and can quickly ramp up on new industries, products, and workflows. You enjoy diving deep into complex problems and emerging with clear solutions.
  • Are comfortable context switching across different types of work.
  • Have experience in consulting, investing, operations, or a startup and are looking for a role with real leverage, visibility, and room to grow into a leadership position.
  • Are excited by the opportunity to work closely with the founders and influence the trajectory of a high-growth startup.
  • Want to work in-person in SF with a small, execution-focused team building something big.

    • Compensation and benefits :

  • Medical, Vision, and Dental insurance.
  • Competitive base + equity.
  • Unlimited PTO.
  • Quarterly offsite.
