## About the role

You'll work on manufact.com itself. This is a product role as much as an engineering one. You decide what gets built, not just how. Ship it, watch users use it, fix what's wrong the same week.

## What they're looking for

- You are already in the MCP space (or excited about it)
- Speed of execution. Startups move quickly
- Must be smarter than the founders
- Based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco
