Factory
Autonomous AI agents for software engineering
CORE INFO
Factory sells software-engineering agents called Droids to development teams and enterprise organizations. The agents handle work from planning and code changes through testing, review, documentation, incident response, and deployment, while the broader platform coordinates these workflows across existing tools.
- Latest financing: Reuters reported a $200 million funding round announced September 15, 2026, valuing Factory at $5 billion.investing.com
- Developer usage: Factory says hundreds of thousands of developers use its Droids daily across enterprise organizations.factory.com
- Enterprise customers: TechCrunch reported that Morgan Stanley, Ernst & Young, and Palo Alto Networks use Factory's platform.techcrunch.com
WHY WE WOULD WORK AT FACTORY
Advance Software Autonomy
Help deliver Factory's mission to bring autonomy to software engineering. Droids already plan, code, test, review, document, and deploy from natural-language instructions.
Build Frontier Agents
Work on long-horizon agents, multi-agent Missions, model routing, code intelligence, and persistent Droid Computers. Factory supports leading models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, and more.
Shape Enterprise Engineering
Your work can influence how teams at NVIDIA, Blackstone, Adobe, T-Mobile, RBC, and Palo Alto Networks build software. The platform spans triage, implementation, security, incident response, and deployment.
Grow With Real Momentum
Factory has grown from a 2023 startup into a company with more than $400 million in reported funding and a latest reported $5 billion valuation. Hundreds of thousands of developers reportedly use its Droids.
Join a Talent-Dense Team
Work alongside a lean, ownership-oriented team with experience from companies including Nuro, Glean, Applied Intuition, Scale AI, and MongoDB. The culture emphasizes speed, collaboration, perspective, and customer obsession.
Solve High-Stakes Problems
Help make autonomous engineering reliable in regulated and security-sensitive environments. Factory supports governance, audit trails, customer-managed keys, hybrid and on-premises deployments, and air-gapped environments.

Autonomous Droids
AI software-engineering agents that plan, modify, test, review, document, and deploy code from natural-language instructions. Droids operate through terminals, IDEs, browsers, desktop apps, collaboration tools, CI/CD systems, and persistent remote environments.
Software Factory Platform
A lifecycle-wide platform coordinating AI agents across triage, planning, implementation, testing, security review, incident response, deployment, and analytics. Automations and multi-agent Missions support scheduled and long-running engineering workflows.
Agent Orchestration
Factory combines long-horizon agents, codebase understanding, task decomposition, tool use, browser-driven QA, and persistent development environments. This enables workflows ranging from migrations and refactoring to automated pull-request creation and incident response.
Model Routing
Factory Router selects AI models for each Droid session, supporting providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral, DeepSeek, and self-hosted or custom-compatible endpoints. Routing provides provider failover and helps optimize cost and speed.
Enterprise Deployment
The platform supports managed SaaS, hybrid, customer-cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped deployments. Enterprise controls include SSO, SCIM, audit trails, model policies, command restrictions, data residency, customer-managed encryption keys, and deployment governance.
