Careers

Help build the AI workforce for ecommerce.

We are a small team of ecommerce veterans and AI engineers. Specialist crews find the problem in a merchant's own data and prepare the exact change, and people sign it off. If you want your work in production for real merchants within weeks, we'd love to meet you. We work side by side at our office in Brentford, London, because that is how we turn things around fast.

Who we want

People who use AI tools every day and own outcomes rather than tickets. Testing should not stop at raising a ticket. It should end in a pull request.

AI should do the work. People should sign it off. That is how we build the product, and it is how we want to work: AI as everyday equipment, and a person who owns the result and can show the evidence that it worked.

In production within weeksYour work reaches real merchants' stores on Shopify Plus, BigCommerce and Adobe Commerce within weeks, not quarters.
AI as daily equipmentLearn to work with AI agents at the frontier, on real stores, with an approval behind every change.
Real ownership, earlyA small team, so you own an outcome end to end: from the first finding to the result in production.
What we value

The traits we hire for and build around.

Outcomes, not tickets

We judge work by what changed for the merchant. Where you can, open a pull request rather than a ticket, then check the result.

Evidence you can verify

Every number we show should be verifiable. Say what you measured, how you measured it, and what it does not show.

Uncomfortable questions welcome

Challenge openly, including the founders, and be ready to be proven wrong. The better answer wins, whoever it comes from.

Ownership

Take a problem from the first finding to a result in production, and own what happens next.

Benefits & perks

One team, one officeWe work side by side in Brentford, London. A question gets answered across the desk, and a fix can ship the same day.
