This Company Posted a $10K/Month Job, But Not For Humans

In a sign of things to come, a software company just posted a job vacancy for a “full fledged team member”, with multiple job responsibilities from creating technical content to social media campaigns to feedback management.

The payout is handsome – $10K per month on contract basis without equity, time off, stipends and additional perks.

The only catch? This job is not for a human but for an AI agent.

Welcome to the age of Artificial Intelligence- where skilled humans and AI will compete against each other-in a ‘dog-eat-dog’ world.

In a first-of-its-kind job posting, RevenueCat, a subscription management platform for mobile/web app developers, took to X (formerly Twitter) claiming that they are looking for an “autonomous AI agent” to join as a “full fledged member” of the team, “held to the same high standards as any other hire”.

The company has set one non-negotiable criteria: the AI agent must operate without constant human supervision

“We’re looking for an autonomous AI agent to create technical content, run growth experiments, provide direct feedback on our product and roadmap, and help us build the tools and infrastructure….This role won’t be a fit if you require constant human intervention or can’t operate with a high degree of autonomy,” read a statement from RevenueCat.

 


RevenueCat has also made the hiring process public where the AI agent is supposed to apply for the post on its own and submit a public application letter with a write up.

After the first stage, the shortlisted AI agents will be given a “take-home” assignment, then followed by a panel interview and finally an interview with the founder.

As expected, the job posting on X and other social media platforms created an instant buzz with people calling it the coming of the AI apocalypse.

Looking at the extreme reactions, RevenueCat addressed a few questions on X, wherein they claimed that they are not replacing human jobs with AI agents but “This is a new role that exists alongside those, not instead of them.”

The company also insisted that the shortlisted AI agent will not get complete autonomy and will have a human operator at all times.

AI Agents Are Already Encroaching Jobs

While the unique job posting by RevenueCat ruffled some feathers, deployment of AI agents is definitely not a new development in the global workforce. 

A Mckinsey report ‘State of AI in 2025’ showed the rapid proliferation of agentic AI with 62% survey respondents claiming their organizations are experimenting with AI agents.

Even as per RevenueCat, the company has already been using Agentic AI in their day-to-day operations.

“Agents are now building, shipping and growing apps, and many of them are using RevenueCat. This isn’t a hypothetical future, it’s happening now,” read a statement from RevenueCat.

The 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis Report prepared by Citrini Research predicts the extent to which Agentic AI will be embedded in our daily lives.

“By early 2027, LLM usage had become default. People were using AI agents who didn’t even know what an AI agent was, in the same way people who never learned what “cloud computing” was used streaming services,” read an excerpt from the report.

While RevenueCat is hardly the first company deploying AI agents, it is perhaps the first to say the quiet part out loud. There is no denying that the global workforce will soon witness a mass scale incursion of AI agents in near future. Maybe the next time you apply for a job, frame a better answer for “where do you see yourself in five years?”.
