We're in Claude Startups. 20 Claude Team seats are open. We want the bravest forward-deployed engineers.

InfraLoka is now a participant in Anthropic's Claude Startups program. We are opening Claude Team seats to engineers who want to build with us, and we are looking for battle-tested forward-deployed engineers to take them.

What's on the table

20 Claude Team seats

Claude Team seats are open for the engineers who join us, so you work with a frontier model from day one, on real customer problems.

Who we are looking for

Battle-tested forward-deployed engineers: people who sit next to the customer, direct fleets of AI agents, and own discovery, design, delivery and production rollout end to end. If you have shipped under pressure and can show it, this is for you.

Why forward-deployed engineers

We wrote about this shift in "Unicorn & Startup Doomsday". The short version:

“This is not the death of the startup. It is the end of headcount as the default measure of technological ambition.”

From "Unicorn & Startup Doomsday"

Headcount stops being the signal

For years, growth in people was read as progress. The new signal is uninterrupted ownership of a problem, not the size of the org chart.

The stack compresses

AI agents let one engineer cross more boundaries. The advantage goes to whoever can give an agent the right problem, the right constraints and a reliable way to verify the result.

The forward-deployed engineer becomes the primitive

Close to the customer and accountable for production, the FDE owns discovery, design, delivery and rollout in one continuous loop.

The old system optimized for parallel headcount. The emerging system optimizes for uninterrupted ownership.
A small team connected to a coherent knowledge core while a larger workforce is separated by fragmented handoffs
Context beats headcount.
