## About this role

At Tapcart, we believe every brand needs a direct relationship with their customers - one they actually own.

We are the mobile commerce engine that powers shopping for Shopify's fastest-growing brands. $15B+ in revenue processed. 200M+ shoppers worldwide. Brands like Princess Polly, Béis, Forever 21, and Young LA rely on us to power a large portion of their revenue.

We're a lean team with minimal management and big autonomy. Everyone here builds and code is core to what we do - engineers, product, leadership. We use our own platform, we talk to merchants daily, and we ship constantly. Backed by Shopify, Silver Lake and other top VCs. Profitable and growing

Why you should join Tapcart, when you have a sea of other options?

• You want to work with colleagues who have high standards and who love building beautiful, performant software
