## About the role

Blacksmith is building the fastest cloud for code: the infra layer where software gets run, tested, and fixed. As AI makes code generation cheaper, the bottleneck is shifting from writing code to running it quickly, at scale. Every agent workflow needs a fast, isolated place to run. We are hiring a General Manager to build Blacksmith’s Sandboxes business.

## What they're looking for

- You may be a former founder, an early leader at a developer-infrastructure company, or someone who has built a technical product from zero to meaningful adoption
- Technically credible with engineers and technical founders
- Strong across both product and go-to-market
- Exceptionally ambitious and hungry to build something enormous, not merely launch a successful product
- Comfortable personally selling, onboarding customers, and doing unscalable work before a mature motion exists
- Highly urgent, hands-on, and effective in ambiguous environments
