Careers
Build the future of software with us
Playcode is an independent, profitable AI app builder used by 1.1M+ people. We're hiring across leadership, engineering, platform, and customer success.
Why work at Playcode
10 years online. 1.1M+ users. 26M+ projects shipped. Your work touches real people every day, not slide decks.
We're bootstrapped and profitable. No board, no quarterly investor demands. Every hire gets meaningful equity on a standard 4-year vest.
Few meetings. Decisions written down. EU / EMEA-overlap hours preferred. Work from wherever you do your best work.
In-browser Node.js runtime. Firecracker microVM hosting. AI agent system. Hard problems, no busywork.
We hire senior. Ship by default. Decisions are made by the person closest to the work, not by committee.
Anton Isaikin and Yuriy Smirnov — co-founders of Fundraise Up ($1B+ valuation) — actively advise Playcode. Real mentorship, not LinkedIn names on a card.
Open roles
4 open positions · We hire when we find the right person, not on a quarterly cycle
Marketing / Growth Co-founder
$140k - $200k base · 25-40% equity · 4-year vest
We're hiring our marketing co-founder. The product is profitable, the customer base is 1.1M users, the AI app builder pivot doubled revenue in 3 months (Feb → May 2026). What's missing is someone who can take this 10x — a builder of distribution, not just a marketer.
- Own end-to-end growth: paid acquisition, SEO, content, partnerships, PR
- Run weekly experiments with a real budget and read the data with us
- Be the public face on Twitter, LinkedIn, podcasts — build the brand
- Hire your own growth team as Playcode scales
- Sit at the leadership table with the CEO and advisors (Fundraise Up co-founders)
- Personally took a B2C or SMB-SaaS product past $100k MRR before
- Native or near-native English fluency
- Direct communicator — say what isn't working, with specifics
- Long-term thinker (5-10 year horizon, not 18-month vesting cliff)
- Full-time available — this is a co-founder commitment, not a side gig
Senior Full-Stack Engineer
$140k - $200k base · meaningful equity
We run a deep technical stack: a custom in-browser Node.js runtime, an AI agent system, Firecracker microVM hosting (Sky Compute), 10-language UI. We need an engineer who thrives in this kind of depth and can ship across the stack without supervision.
- Ship across the stack: TypeScript backend, Vue frontend, infra integration
- Own large surfaces of the app — agent system, project editor, billing flows
- Make architectural decisions with the CEO and other senior engineers
- Help shape engineering culture and review standards as the team grows
- 7+ years shipping production software, 3+ in TypeScript / Node
- Comfortable with: Vue or React, PostgreSQL, distributed systems
- Bias toward shipping; have run real growth experiments in code
- Read others' code generously, write your own tightly
Infrastructure / SRE Engineer
$150k - $220k base · meaningful equity
Sky Compute (our Firecracker-based microVM hosting platform) is shipping to public beta. As the platform grows we need a dedicated operator: bare-metal management, distributed networking, observability, security hardening.
- Operate the bare-metal fleet (Hetzner) and the Sky Compute control plane
- Own SLOs, on-call rotation, capacity planning, cost economics
- Harden the network and security boundary as the platform scales
- Contribute to SOC 2 preparation and ongoing compliance work
- 5+ years SRE / DevOps experience including bare-metal or microVM work
- Deep with: Linux, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, observability stacks
- Comfortable with networking internals (BGP, nftables, WireGuard)
- Calm under incidents; clear post-mortem writer
Customer Success Lead
$80k - $120k base · equity
Our paying customers are SMB owners, side-hustlers, and SaaS founders — non-technical people building real businesses. We need someone who genuinely cares about helping them succeed, beyond just answering tickets.
- Own the customer experience post-signup: onboarding, education, retention
- Triage and resolve support conversations (Crisp) with empathy and speed
- Build self-serve resources: tutorials, templates, walkthroughs
- Feed product-quality signal back to engineering weekly
- 3+ years in customer success or technical support at a B2B SaaS
- Native or near-native English; bonus: any second language
- Comfortable explaining technical concepts to non-technical users
- Self-directed and async — you don't wait for tickets to find work
How we work
Decisions captured in writing. Few meetings, almost no recurring ones. We trust people to manage their own time and protect deep work.
We ship to production multiple times a day. Every change is small, reversible, and measured. We learn from real users, not from speculation.
We tell each other when something isn't working, with specifics. No praise-sandwich, no surprise reviews. Everyone gets to expect the same back.
We've been at this for 10 years and we're planning the next decade, not the next quarter. Hires are people we want around in 5 years, not 18 months.
Don't see your role?
If you're exceptional at something we'd need eventually — engineering, design, content, partnerships, ops — write to us anyway. We hire when we meet the right person, not when a slot opens.
