About the role
What we're looking for:
We need someone with 2-7+ years of experience in full-stack web development who has built applications end-to-end and deployed them to production. You should be comfortable in a fast-paced, flat organization where ownership and agency are paramount, and have a track record of shipping business applications (B2B SaaS, internal tools, enterprise apps, or consulting-built products). Bonus points if you have experience with AI engineering, agentic systems, or integrating LLMs into products.
What you'll do:
- Build customer solutions using Software Factory and help develop parts of the Software Factory platform itself
- Take ownership of the complete software lifecycle — development, testing, operation, maintenance, and support — for the products you create
- Work closely with customers and internal stakeholders to design and articulate well-engineered solutions to ambiguous business problems
- Develop and maintain scalable full-stack applications using Python, TypeScript, React, and AWS
- Lead initiatives end-to-end in a flat organization where high-agency individuals chart their own path and grow into broader ownership
- Leverage and integrate AI tools to improve engineering productivity and build AI-native software — building AI with AI
About 8090 Solutions
About 8090 Solutions
The Software Industrial Complex has evolved into a bloated, expensive ecosystem that burdens enterprises with unnecessary complexity and inefficiency. 8090 Solutions is changing that. Co-founded and led by Chamath Palihapitiya, 8090 builds and operates Software Factory — an AI-native system that gives enterprises top-down control over their entire Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
What We Do
8090 operates across two complementary sides of the business:
- Software Factory (Platform): A platform that helps software development teams produce better software faster and more efficiently, delivering quality, control, and consistency as the new standard for AI-built software.
- Enterprise Consulting: A consulting arm that partners directly with businesses to create bespoke, purpose-built software that helps them achieve their business objectives.
Our Thesis
With the dramatically lowering cost of software generation and creation through AI, there is a tremendous opportunity for businesses of any size to run better, more efficiently, and in a more democratic way. Anyone can start a business with less friction because of this shift — and 8090 is positioned at the center of that transformation.
Why 8090
- Backed by Chamath Palihapitiya and well-funded with double-digit millions in capital, providing tremendous access to enterprise customers, large companies, and government.
- Flat organization where everyone reports directly to the CEO — ownership, agency, and high-impact work are not just values but the operating model.
- Rapidly growing market in AI-powered software development, with strong business momentum and expanding demand.
- Early-stage opportunity (~45 people) that offers a blank canvas for growth, ownership, and the ability to define where the company goes.
Our Culture
8090 celebrates and appreciates ownership and agency. High-agency, highly motivated individuals thrive here. If you do great work and continue building, you can own a significant chunk of an operation. The company was founded on values of engineering excellence, insatiable curiosity, a bias for action, ownership, agency, honesty, and radical candor.
We believe in building AI with AI — constantly challenging which software paradigms are evolving with advances in AI and leveraging AI tools to improve individual and team productivity.
