Overview

Arcade.dev is solving the biggest bottleneck in AI today: the gap between AI that just chats and AI that gets things done. We’ve built a production platform that makes tool-calling safe, secure, and easy for developers and enterprises, enabling AI agents to take real actions in the world.

We’re backed by top investors and are scaling rapidly with Global 2000 enterprises across technology, healthcare, manufacturing, energy, and telecommunications. In just 4 weeks with our GTM team, we’ve built a $1M+ ARR pipeline.

  • Customer Champion : Build deep relationships with AI/ML leaders and CTOs at Global 2000 enterprises, understanding their deployment challenges and crafting secure, compliant solutions using our platform.
  • Community Leader & Evangelist : Represent Arcade.dev across channels—speaking at conferences, writing technical posts, engaging on social media, and contributing content that positions us in AI agent infrastructure.
  • Hands-On Builder : Continue coding and building solutions directly with customers—navigating tool-calling architectures, MCP implementations, and enterprise security requirements. Build agents for Arcade along the way.
