About Refactyl

Refactyl is building a safer way to modernise software codebases.

We help developers migrate legacy code to modern frameworks and languages through deterministic transformation rules, AI-assisted changes, real compiler verification and reviewable diffs.

Our vision is to make code modernisation something developers can run, verify and review rather than a risky, manual rewrite.

Why this opportunity exists

I'm Yash Sharma, the technical founder of Refactyl.

I've been building the product and working on the engineering behind it.

Now I want to find the right person to help turn Refactyl into a real, growing business.

I'm not looking for someone to execute marketing tasks.

I’m looking for an experienced co-founder who can handle marketing, sales, finding customers and growing the business to turn our product into a successful business with real users and paying customers.

I want us to build the company together.

What you'll be responsible for

- Finding our first users and paying customers.
- Identifying developers, engineering teams and businesses that need code modernisation.
- Conducting customer discovery and understanding why people would or wouldn't use Refactyl.
- Building an acquisition strategy through direct outreach, developer communities, partnerships, technical content, SEO, and other experiments.
- Turning product demonstrations and trials into active users and customers.
- Developing our positioning, messaging, and sales process.
- Measuring what works, learning from rejection, and continuously improving our approach.
- Helping shape the business strategy and long-term direction of Refactyl.

You'll have meaningful ownership over how we take this product to market.

Who I want to meet

I'm looking for someone with real-world experience who has demonstrated the ability to turn a product or business into something people actually use and pay for.





This is not an entry-level marketing opportunity or a role for someone looking to learn sales from scratch.

I'm looking for a potential co-founder who can bring meaningful experience, independent thinking, and execution to the business.

You could be a strong fit if you have:

- Demonstrable growth or sales experience: You've acquired customers, generated revenue, built a sales pipeline, grown a product's user base, or helped an early-stage business gain traction.
- Startup experience: You've worked at an early-stage startup, built your own business or taken a product from an idea to real customers.
- B2B or SaaS experience: You understand how to identify potential customers, conduct discovery calls, communicate value, and convert interest into adoption or revenue.
- A track record of execution: You can explain what you personally accomplished, the strategies you used, and the results you achieved.
- Independent ownership: You can identify opportunities, formulate a plan, execute it and learn from the results without needing constant direction.

Experience with developer tools, technical products, developer communities or selling to engineering teams would be a significant advantage.

You don't necessarily need experience at a famous company or a particular number of years in the industry. What matters is relevant experience, evidence of results, and the ability to apply that experience to an early-stage product.

Please don't apply solely because you are interested in startups or want to learn marketing.

I'm looking for someone who can contribute meaningful expertise from the beginning.

How to apply

Please include the following in your application:

1. Your background:



A brief overview of your relevant professional experience, previous startups or businesses you've built.
2. Your results: One or two examples of products or businesses you've helped grow, customers you've acquired, revenue you've generated, or sales outcomes you've achieved. Include numbers and timeframes where possible, and clearly explain your personal contribution.
3. Your approach: How would you identify and acquire Refactyl's first 10 users and first paying customer?
4. Your availability: How much time can you realistically commit to building Refactyl?
5. Your motivation: Why do you want to join Refactyl as a co-founder, and what would you bring to the founding team?

Please include your LinkedIn profile and any relevant portfolio, case studies, startup projects, or other evidence of your work.

Applications that only express enthusiasm without demonstrating relevant experience or execution will not be prioritised.

What I am offering

- The opportunity to help shape an early-stage software company from the ground up.
- A technical founder focused on building and improving the product.
- Real ownership over growth and go-to-market decisions.
- An equity-based founding partnership, with the structure negotiated transparently.
- The opportunity to build something ambitious together.

Important transparency

Refactyl is currently at an early stage and is pre-revenue.

There is no guaranteed salary or upfront cash compensation at this time.

This is a founding partnership chance, not a salaried position.

Equity, vesting, responsibilities, commitment and decision-making will be discussed openly before we agree to work together.

I'm looking for someone who understands the risks and genuinely wants to build a business together, not someone being promised quick money or guaranteed success.

I'm looking for a person with initiative, conviction, and the ability to turn ideas into action.

If you're interested in building Refactyl with me, I'd love to hear from you.
