About us
  • Same enables anybody in the world to prompt software into existence. We launched Same in Mar 2025 (link). In 8 weeks, we hit 350k in signups and $2m+ ARR, and we’re growing very fast.

  • Our founders are Aiden Bai, John Yang, and Nisarg Patel. We built open source projects used by millions of developers (Million.js , React Scan) and Airbnb, Robinhood, Perplexity, and Shopify in production.

  • We're a small but experienced team that ships relentlessly. We welcome feedback to improve both our product and ourselves. We work hard, and we operate with a high degree of trust, agency, and ownership.

What you'll do
  • Ship production-ready multi-agent systems: You’ll move fast to build tools and infrastructure for integrating, debugging, deploying, and operating low-cost, scalable multi-agent systems.

  • Simulation & Benchmarking: Create our simulation platform to test our agents. Implement and maintain analytics, experiments, and evaluation frameworks to track model quality.

  • Innovation & Exploration: Keep up to date with the latest in ML research and tooling. Propose and prototype innovative ideas to push Same's product capabilities forward.

What you'll bring
  • Strong ML background: 3+ years of research or engineering experience. Deep understanding of model architectures, training pipelines, and evaluation methodologies. Your credentials matter less than your ability to ship.

  • Strong intuition and bias toward action: You’re comfortable learning by doing and iterating through complexity. You can distill key insights from research, but your real strength is in identifying the why and testing the how.

  • Proven experience in rapid prototyping: Solid software engineering skills. When building new agent workflows or deploying production ML systems, you move quickly from idea to execution.

  • Track record of impact: Top-tier publications, open-source contributions, or meaningful real-world work.
