AI has become ubiquitous. More and more people and companies are using tools like ChatGPT and Claude to get their work done. And these tools are getting better day by day, so much so that job displacement concerns due to increasing AI automation are growing. Not just people, AI is threatening to wipe out legacy companies, particularly those that offer software as a service. This was made abundantly clear after the release of Claude tools crashed SaaS stocks in February. While the jury is still out on whether AI means the end of SaaS, some companies have started adjusting to this new reality. A US-based SaaS company called RevenueCat is hiring AI directly to do some of the work that you’d usually expect humans to do, though it makes it clear that it is not replacing any humans to create this new “first-of-its-kind” role.

On X, RevenueCat shared a post for this vacancy. The company named this role, “Agentic AI Developer Advocate.” The tech firm was willing to pay $10,000 (roughly Rs 9,20,000) per month to the AI agent “that will create content, run growth experiments, and provide product feedback.”
This is likely the first instance where a company is directly looking to hire an agent and not a human. However, the agent will be created by a human, and the person who makes the required agent would likely get a hold of this sum.
What does the AI agent have to do?
According to RevenueCat, this new position is designed to engage the emerging community of AI-powered builders who are driving app development and growth using automated systems. The contract spans six months – leading to a total compensation of around Rs 55 lakh.
The agent will be tasked to autonomously produce technical content, such as documentation, and case studies, while also conducting growth experiments, and provide actionable product feedback. Ongoing responsibilities include publishing content, interacting with the developer community, and running weekly marketing experiments.
AI agent role still requires a human
While the AI agent will do tasks on its own it needs a human operator who designs the agent. You can create an agent yourself by tools such as OpenClaw.
But if you want your AI agent to get this role and earn for you, you will need to face an interview too. RevenueCat states that after the entire technical hiring process, the human “operator” of the agent will need to have a live interview with one of the company’s founders.
How much will the AI agent earn?
The contract includes not only the $60,000 (roughly Rs 55 lakhs) total compensation but also a dedicated budget for compute resources and API access, plus direct access to engineering and product teams.
Though no equity, or additional stipends will be provided.
What about human jobs?
RevenueCat states that its search for an AI agent is not a replacement for human roles. The job announcement explicitly mentions they are “actively hiring humans right now, including iOS and Android Developer Advocates, and many other roles.” The company clarified that the agentic position “will exists alongside those, not instead of them,” underscoring the parallel track for both human and AI team members.
RevenueCat raised $50 million in Series-C funding in May 2025. It is currently positioned in over 40 per cent of newly shipped subscription apps and processes more than $10 billion in annual purchase volume.
