Ethan here, founder of Jump.

Machine shops lose jobs because quoting is slow. A part comes in, someone has to read the drawing, figure out how to make it, and price it, and that can take hours. Many shops also can't put customer drawings in the cloud (ITAR, export control, or just customers who say no).

We're building Jump Quote: AI that reads a shop's drawings and drafts quotes in minutes, running on the shop's own computer. We're starting with a small group of founding CNC shops. Long term, we want anyone to be able to make anything, anywhere.

We're hiring founding engineers first (software/AI and manufacturing), but every role is open. If you're exceptional at something a startup needs, apply.

We care about kindness, honesty, ambition and intelligence. We don't care where you went to school or who you've worked for. We care that you have a winning mindset and can learn and ship fast.

How it works: we start now, remote within the US. In January 2027 we're together in person in Miami, and that's when the $140K–$160K + equity package starts. You need to be authorized to work in the US for at least the next 3 years; we can't sponsor visas.
