But engineering is moving towards building & shipping end to end.
Weāre still a small product/eng team of ~30 and people here get crazy leverage
Weāre on the lookout for a designer / design eng to join the family. Want to craft the way future builders work with AI?
Shoot me a msg. Devin and I might personally build your ideas
Weāve raised over $400M at a $10.2B post-money valuation to advance the frontier of AI coding agents.
The round was led by Founders Fund with other existing investors including Lux, 8VC, Neo, Elad Gil, Definition Capital, and Swish VC all doubling down. Weāre also joined by new
