About us Manufact builds dev-tools and cloud infrastructure for MCP and software used by AI agents. Our platform helps teams build, deploy, test, and distribute MCP servers and apps across ChatGPT, Claude, Muse, Grok Bot, and other AI agents. • Why now: MCP is becoming the most important product surface for every company. • Growth: Tool calls on our infra +38% WoW since June (there's a live counter on our website). • Open source: We created mcp-use SDK (Next.js for MCP) for building MCP Apps with 10k Github stars and 10M+ downloads. • Backed by the best: Y Combinator (S25) and raised a $6.3M seed round led by Peak XV, with investors including the founders of Supabase. • Our goal: A big portion of global MCP tool calls will run on Manufact. We believe every software company will need an agent interface, just as it needs a website today. About the role We're hiring a founding engineer to own the product. You'll work on manufact.com itself. This is a product role as much as an engineering one. You decide what gets built, not just how. Ship it, watch users use it, fix what's wrong the same week.

What we're looking for High agency, fast, and opinionated about how LLMs interact with the world through MCP. • You are already in the MCP space (or excited about it). • Great product taste. You can tell good from bad and say why. You have taste for makers. • 10x engineer. You ship in a day what takes a team a week, and it holds up in production.
