THE OPPORTUNITY

Your next chapter.

Help us make commerce software that feels like a natural part of running a store. You’ll work on merchant experiences across reviews, catalogs, storefront tools, and subscriptions, connecting product intent to the realities of a busy business.

The role combines platform engineering with strong customer empathy. You’ll think through permissions, billing behavior, data synchronization, and onboarding so merchants understand what the app is doing and can trust it to keep working.

What you’ll do

  • Build merchant-facing app experiences
  • Design maintainable catalog, order, and billing integrations
  • Improve reliability, onboarding, and developer tooling
  • Design onboarding that gets merchants to their first useful outcome quickly.
  • Handle webhooks, limits, and API changes without silent data loss.
  • Work through real support cases to improve the underlying experience.

What you’ll bring

  • Hands-on commerce integration experience
  • Strong API and authentication fundamentals
  • A customer-minded approach to debugging
  • Experience with embedded merchant interfaces and storefront integrations.
  • An understanding of asynchronous events, reconciliation, and safe retries.
  • Care with installation, permission, and subscription lifecycles.

A strong start looks like this.

In your first few months, we’d focus on learning together and making a useful contribution.

  1. 01

    Understand the first product’s merchant journey end to end.

  2. 02

    Improve a meaningful point of friction in onboarding or daily use.

  3. 03

    Establish a clear process for detecting and resolving integration failures.

Good work happens together.

You’ll collaborate with commerce product management, design, platform engineering, and customer success. We value clear writing, open feedback, time to focus, and practical decisions made close to the work.

Bring your perspective, curiosity, and care for customers. We’re interested in how you think, what you’ve learned, and the difference you can make with a team.
