Technology Vision

The B2B manufacturing industry has a lack of digitisation globally. NowPurchase is building layers of technology to help improve the productivity and profits of the manufacturer. For this we are building the OS (Operating System) that will seamlessly connect factory equipment such as furnaces and spectrometers to our software systems that provide real time optimisations.

The end-game is to use this interconnected system to do great production planning and autonomous procurement of their raw materials. The Heart of NowPurchase will be a marketplace consisting of these smart factories and raw material suppliers.

Here a video that explains our product journey:

  • quality over quantity.
  • Postgres with InfluxDB, Oracle, MySQL and Redis experience a plus.
  • Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, OpenShift and associated tooling.
  • AWS, especially ECS, Lambda, RDS and DynamoDB. Performance and uptime are super
  • important to us.
  • The challenge of scaling a global, distributed API to 10,000+ requests per second.
  • We have SDKs in a bunch of languages, so the more polyglot you are the better.
  • If you like writing JS and React that would be awesome too.
We are an Open Source company first and foremost, so working with our community on Github to build features, fix bugs and cultivate pull requests is also on the job spec. You can check out our code on our Github pages.
We are a 100% remote team, currently based on the West Coast US and in Europe
