    Office Type: Hybrid / Remote-Friendly
    Salary: Competitive Base + Equity

    Company Description

    This early-stage company is reinventing the ERP stack for modern ecommerce businesses by building an AI-native operating system embedded directly into commerce platforms. Their product unifies inventory, operations, and financial workflows into a single system of record, replacing fragmented spreadsheets and disconnected tools. The platform is evolving toward agent-driven workflows that assist operators and accountants in real time, combining APIs, data infrastructure, and intelligent automation into one cohesive system.

    What You Will Do

    • Build and evolve core systems of record, including inventory ledgers, operational workflows, and financial subledgers
    • Design and develop APIs and platform interfaces used by internal systems, partners, and agent workflows
    • Embed AI-driven functionality into product workflows to improve operational efficiency and decision-making
    • Work directly with customers to understand real-world workflows and translate them into scalable systems
    • Prototype quickly and iterate toward production-grade systems
    • Own product initiatives end-to-end across backend, data, APIs, and frontend surfaces
    • Ensure systems are reliable, observable, and scalable under real-world operational demands
    • Drive technical decisions and contribute to overall product direction

    Ideal Background

    • 6+ years of experience building and shipping production software
    • Strong experience owning systems from early design through production
    • Full-stack capabilities with strength across backend systems, APIs, and data modeling
    • Strong proficiency in TypeScript (preferred)
    • Experience working in fast-paced, high-ownership environments
    • Strong product mindset — focused on delivering real user value, not just technical correctness
    • Comfort working across ambiguous problem spaces and evolving requirements
    • Ability to engage directly with customers and translate workflows into technical systems

    Preferred

    • Experience with APIs, platform design, or developer-facing systems
    • Background in ERP, fintech, supply chain, or data-heavy operational systems
    • Experience building transactional systems or ledger-based architectures
    • Exposure to AI-assisted features, agent workflows, or MCP layers
    • Familiarity with modern stack tools such as Next.js, NestJS, Prisma, GCP, Python, Terraform, or GraphQL
    • Experience using AI tools (e.g., coding assistants) as part of development workflow

    Compensation and Benefits

    • Competitive base salary + meaningful equity
    • Flexible PTO and strong healthcare benefits
    • High-autonomy, builder-focused culture with direct impact on product direction
    • Opportunity to work closely with customers and operators in real-time
    • Hybrid / remote-first collaboration with optional in-person hubs (SF, NYC, Austin)
    • Fast-moving team with strong emphasis on shipping, ownership, and real-world impact

    This role is ideal for a product-minded engineer who wants to own systems end-to-end, work closely with customers, and build AI-native infrastructure that powers real business operations.
