About The Client

We craft custom AI software. We use technology to help businesses thrive.

The Project

Our First Product Is An AI-powered Platform Designed To Revolutionize The Thrift Store And Resale Ecosystem. We Are Transforming a Traditionally Low-tech Industry With a Fully Integrated Solution For

  • Inventory management
  • Point-of-sale (POS)
  • E-commerce

We’ve developed and validated a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and are now looking for a foundational engineer to help us scale it into a robust platform that becomes the backbone of our customers’ operations.

The Team

You’ll be a core member of our small, focused product and engineering team. We are a flat organization where you’ll work directly with the founding team.

We’re built for builders — your voice will help shape the technical direction. Your focus will be execution, not endless internal meetings.

Role & Responsibilities

Your mission is to take our product roadmap and turn it into clean, reliable, and scalable software. This is a hands-on role, where you will own the full development lifecycle — from the first line of code to deployment.

Frontend Development

  • Build and maintain responsive, user-friendly interfaces in React
  • Work on inventory management dashboard, POS, and e-commerce platforms
  • Ensure seamless user experience across devices with modern state management libraries

Backend & API Development

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services and RESTful APIs using Node.js/TypeScript

Database Architecture

  • Architect and manage the PostgreSQL database, including schema design and query optimization

AI Integration

  • Help build AI-powered features like:

  • Automated product categorization

  • AI-driven price optimization

  • Demand forecasting

Ownership & Deployment

  • Own features from technical design to deployment
  • Manage CI/CD pipelines and deploy services on the cloud

The Type of Person We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a builder’s mindset. Skills matter — but your attitude toward ownership, speed, and simplicity matters even more.

You Are

  • A Practical Builder: You get satisfaction from shipping high-quality software. You know how to balance speed with sustainability and low tech debt.
  • A True Owner: You’re self-driven, thrive in ambiguity, and take full responsibility for outcomes. You think like a user and hold your work to a high standard.
  • A Collaborative Executor: You prefer building over meetings but communicate effectively, collaborate closely, and give constructive feedback.
