🧑💻 About the Role
Some of the internet’s favourite Creators launch their merch with Makeship , and we’re building the team that finds the next ones.
You know which Creators are about to blow up before everyone else does. You have opinions on the latest streamer drama, the indie game everyone’s sleeping on, and whose merch is actually fire. What if you could get paid to be this chronically online?
