Build the products. Back the founders.
Macroshifts hires people who could be running their own thing — and choose to build inside a studio because it's where ten ideas at once is possible. Senior hands only, real ownership, equity in what we ship.
It's the closest thing to a founder seat — without the cap table.
Most studios outsource the senior thinking and hand the work to a junior bench. We do the opposite. You'll plan the product, build it, ship it, and stand next to the founder when it's time to raise. Every quarter, you'll see the result of work you actually did.
In exchange we ask for taste, ownership, and the kind of judgement that only comes from having shipped before. We don't have an "associate" tier. There's no internal politics about whose name goes on the deck. The studio is small on purpose.

The studio model, applied to your career.
Equity in what we ship
A studio-wide carry pool that pays out across every portfolio company we help raise.
Senior-only team
No bench, no associates, no shadow billing. The people who plan are the people who build.
Remote-first, in real time zones
Hubs in London and Lisbon, fully remote for the rest. We work async with a four-hour overlap.
Six weeks paid leave
Plus your local public holidays, your birthday off, and a two-week sabbatical at five years.
Learning budget that actually works
A real annual budget for courses, conferences, or whatever sharpens your craft — no approvals.
Top-decile health cover
Private medical, dental, vision, and mental-health support for you and your dependants.
Four steps. Two weeks. No coding gauntlets.
