About the job

About Blacksmith

  • At Blacksmith, we revolutionized Continuous Integration (CI) workloads by developing infrastructure that accelerates operations significantly. Our flagship product enables companies to execute GitHub Actions more efficiently and cost-effectively by utilizing our proprietary global fleet of bare-metal machines instead of relying on generic cloud virtual machines.

  • Currently, we manage tens of millions of Firecracker VMs monthly, providing CI services to over 1,200 companies, and achieving nearly $10M in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in under two years.

  • Our operations span thousands of bare-metal machines across diverse regions, with the ability to concurrently schedule over 30,000 vCPUs and manage a petabyte-scale Ceph cluster independently.

  • We have successfully raised $13.5M in Seed and Series A funding, with Google Ventures (GV) leading the rounds. Our focus remains on cultivating a small yet exceptional team.

  • Founded by experts with substantial experience in systems and scaling, including work in search and advertising infrastructure at Faire and in large distributed systems at Cockroach Labs. Our go-to-market strategy is spearheaded by Jon Boyer, the former Head of Sales at Zapier.

  • We are now expanding our CI infrastructure into a comprehensive platform, facilitating the operation of agent sandboxes at scale and developing our own background coding agent.

This role is in-person in San Francisco, five days a week.
