This is a genuinely high-impact opportunity within a fast-growing startup that is still early enough for individual hires to have real influence over the product, technology and wider company direction.

• Have visible impact quickly

The environment suits people who enjoy startup pace, ambiguity and ownership, and who are motivated by building meaningful products within ambitious, fast-moving teams.

It’s particularly well suited to individuals who prefer execution over bureaucracy, enjoy solving operational and workflow challenges, and want to help shape not just a product, but how a business grows.

You’d be working across:

• Ordering & logistics systems

• Payments & operational workflows

• Internal tooling

• Customer-facing product features

• Platform scalability & infrastructure

Tech stack includes:

Node.js, TypeScript, Vue/Nuxt, SQL, AWS
