Overview

We’re building the next century of shopping—making it feel human, communal, and alive again. E-commerce has spent decades optimizing for clicks, stripping away the trust, joy, and connection that once made shopping meaningful.

We’ve recently raised an $18M Series A from the world’s best investors to build the next era of commerce. Now, we’re hiring elite builders to make it happen.

In Short

  • Design and build scalable APIs and backend services that support millions of real-time user interactions
  • Own core infrastructure across streaming, payments, auctions, and real-time bidding
  • Improve performance, reliability, and observability across the stack
  • Collaborate across teams to ship systems that are fast, resilient, and developer-friendly
  • Help define and evolve backend best practices as we scale the team

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience building production-grade systems
  • Experience working in early-stage startups or high-growth environments
  • Expertise in the Node.js ecosystem
  • Strong understanding of backend architecture and scalable system design
  • Deep experience with AWS and infrastructure-as-code (ideally with TypeScript CDK)
  • Fluency with relational databases and data modeling
  • A clear communicator—written, visual, and verbal
  • Self-directed and comfortable in a high-autonomy, low-ego culture

Benefits

  • You’ll be joining a mission-driven team backed by world-class investors
  • You’ll own meaningful systems from day one, with real scope and autonomy
  • You’ll work alongside curious, kind, and wickedly smart teammates
  • You’ll help redefine how millions of people shop online
