We are railblocks.com - the ops engineering team for startups. We develop internal tools, workflows and data to help startups like Lovable, Mercury, On Deck and Lighthouse do more with less, at scale.

Roles: We’re hiring in engineering, system architecture and low-code development.

Model

Railblocks builds internal tooling for some of the worlds fastest growing startups, such as Lovable.

We come on as an engineering team focused on operational needs. We bridge a critical gap: operators are often not technical enough to build solutions to their problems, while engineers want to stay focused on their product.

Our team embeds directly within our clients’ operations, functioning as an extension of their company rather than an external agency. The systems we build sit at the heart of their operations, giving us the possibility to build tooling and workflows across the company.

We work on a monthly retainer basis, with long-term contracts and virtually no churn.

Growth

We’re 100% bootstrapped, profitable from day one and growing quickly. We just crossed $1M of annualized revenue growing at a 15% month-over-month rate since the beginning of the year.

This independence has allowed us to build deliberately, stay close to our customers, and prioritize long-term value over short-term noise. We’re focused on building a sustainable business on our own terms.

Product

Our long-term vision is to become a technology-first company in the internal tooling space. Through our client work, we stand at the forefront of ops engineering and aim to build the infrastructure that will transform both how companies operate and how employees interact with software.

How We Work

We're early, so you'll have an opportunity to shape not just our product, but the company itself: who we work with, and how we work together.

We value agency, craftsmanship, and clarity. We move fast, but not at the cost of quality or thoughtful communication.

Values

Here are a few values we strive to live by as a team:

🧮 First principles

We derive our decisions from fundamentals and results instead of blindly following conventional wisdom. We avoid analogies. We think and build from the ground up.

🧪 Natural flow

We run end-to-end, iterative experiments like scientists. We follow the flow instead of forcing a vision. We take things step by step instead of over-planning.

🌐 Open heart

We express ourselves with an open heart, total transparency and honesty. We appreciate feedback, whatever it might be. We don’t judge any opinion, we make sure everyone gets heard.

🏷️ Full agency

We all shape our own realities. We see our work as craft. We care about what we do and make sure we deliver. We trust each other’s judgement and ability to do great work.
