Founding Team Compensation

$150K – $200K • 0.25% – 0.75% We're hiring our first founding infra engineer. You'll build the platform that supports everything Create does - from how our AI agent builds apps to how those apps scale in production. Create is already used by 300k+ builders (growing fast) to turn English into full stack apps. Some of those apps already serve 100k+ sessions. Soon, it'll be millions of builders and users. You'll own the systems that power those apps and give our AI agent the observability and control it needs to maintain them. Unlike most platform roles, your work won't just help one team - every innovation you ship will scale to thousands of apps and let Create's agent autonomously maintain them for millions of builders + users. Sample projects include: Architecting a one-click deploy system that scales Create-made apps from zero to millions of sessions

Designing fault-tolerant infra with per-app isolation across data, secrets, and runtime

Building real-time observability so Create’s AI agent can debug, monitor, and repair production apps on its own

Scaling the backbone that supports hundreds of thousands of simultaneous builders and agents

Optimizing retrieval and inference to make AI code gen feel instant - even under massive concurrent load

Your background looks something like: 4+ years of experience

in infra or platform engineering roles, and fluent in Typescript, Go, Rust, or Python

Built or scaled systems

with meaningful production traffic and load

Production experience with AWS

(or similar, GCP, Azure) and

Terraform

(or CDK/CDKTF/Pulumi) and modern

Strong experience with

databases, caches, proxies, secrets, task queues, observability, microVMs, containers, and orchestration

systems

Experience with multi tenant SaaS platforms or developer facing products

Excellent problem solving skills, passion for scalable, reliable systems, and a product mindset (you understand how excellence in infra drives product wins like instant deploys, collab, hero moments for customers, etc.)

Excited to work in person, 5 days/week, in San Francisco

We pay extra attention if you have: Prior experience as a founder or founding eng

Joined somewhere early enough to experience a few orders of magnitude of scale increase

Hands on work with secrets management or security best practices for cloud infra

Strong experience with AI/ML workloads and infra

Contributions to open source projects

Compensation Range: $150K - $200K
