About us

We build Shopify apps used by serious e-commerce brands — streetwear, fashion, lifestyle.

We’re a small, profitable company. No layers. No “alignment meetings”. Just real users, real revenue, and real problems to solve. If you like shipping things that merchants actually use, you’ll fit in.

What you’ll actually do (no fluff)

• Build core product features end-to-end (backend, logic, edge cases, scale)
• Own parts of the system — not “tickets”, but decisions
• Work on performance-critical flows (orders, webhooks, queues)
• Debug real production issues with real consequences

Tech (what we use today)

• Backend: Node.js
• Database: MongoDB, Apollo
• Infrastructure: AWS (Lambda, SQS), Redis
• Frontend (secondary): React

What we’re looking for

You should have:

• 5–7 years of real production experience
• Experience building systems that didn’t fall apart at scale
• Comfort debugging messy, real-world issues
• Good judgment > fancy abstractions
• Ability to work independently without constant direction

Bonus if you:

• Have worked on SaaS or developer tools
• Understand e-commerce flows
• Have opinions (and can defend them calmly)

Why join us?

• Real ownership — your decisions ship
• Remote, async-friendly — no micromanagement
• Competitive pay (with option to work as a consultant for tax benefits)
