In a groundbreaking move, US-based SaaS company RevenueCat has announced that it is hiring an AI agent directly, offering a salary of up to Rs 55 lakh. This new "Agentic AI Developer Advocate" role aims to leverage AI to perform tasks traditionally handled by humans, such as creating content, running growth experiments, and providing actionable product feedback.

RevenueCat, which recently raised $50 million in Series-C funding, has made it clear that this position is not a replacement for human workers but an additional resource to complement their current workforce. The company emphasized that it is actively hiring humans for other roles like iOS and Android Developer Advocates. However, this job posting for an AI agent marks a significant step in automating aspects of SaaS operations.

The AI agent will be expected to autonomously produce technical content, run experiments, and interact with the developer community. The position, spanning six months, offers a total compensation of around Rs 55 lakh, with additional resources for compute and API access. However, there will be no equity or stipends. while the AI agent will perform various tasks autonomously, a human operator will still be required to design and guide the agent, with an interview process conducted by one of RevenueCat's founders.

This unique job posting signals how AI is reshaping roles within the tech industry, particularly in SaaS, where automation is being integrated at various levels. The decision to hire an AI agent underscores the growing trend of AI-driven operations within software companies as they adjust to the increasing role of automation in their business models.
