• Help shape the technical vision for our AI-native ERP, CRM, and eCommerce ecosystem.
• Collaborate directly with the CEO and Engineering Lead to drive fast, iterative execution.
• Develop scalable infrastructure to onboard customers quickly and support high growth.
• Thrive in ambiguity, make decisions quickly, and own end-to-end delivery in a high-velocity environment.
• Commit to a serious execution pace — we move fast, and so should you.

You Should Have

• 5+ years experience with a track record of promotions.
• Strong TypeScript, React, and Postgres skills.
• Comfort with ambiguity and fast-changing priorities.
• High ownership mindset and a bias toward action.
• Ability to learn fast, ask smart questions, and operate independently.

Why Join Us?

• Industry-first platform: ERP + CRM + eCommerce ecosystem starting with service centers, expanding across the supply chain.
• Building verticalized AI: Leveraging vertical AI agents to optimize pricing, ops, and fulfillment.
• Strong traction: Live customers, large ACVs, deep enterprise pipeline.
• Proven demand: Displacing decades-old legacy systems in a validated market.
• Funded and focused: $4M raised from leading VCs, sales and fundraising handled—you focus on building.
• Leadership opportunity: High-impact role at a pre-Series A company with product-market fit and investor momentum.
