Looking for someone who

Experience or working knowledge of React is great too, but we can teach you that if we need to
- Has a product and customer-focused mindset
- Has experience being burned by deployment and maintenance issues. If you have a a strong opinion on how backend systems should be built, that9s good
- Values writing clean, maintainable software, including documentation (e.g. the code needs to be correct and run fast, but we9re the ones that have to read it and understand it)
- Is comfortable with ambiguity and defining software architecture patterns to solve customer pain points
Bonus points if you
- Have started a company before
- Enjoy attending hackathons
- Worked at an early-stage (Series A or earlier) startup previously

About Replo
Replo is the commerce platform for the AI age. The web continues to be the most profitable customer acquisition channel for selling goods and services. Over the past two decades, SaaS products like Squarespace and Shopify have dominated online commerce. They9ve made it easier to set up an online store, but at their core,9re just CRUD apps built on top of payment processors. You still have to design and build the shop, make ads, write copy, analyze data, and keep iterating until you find a channel that works. This often means spending millions on design, development, marketing, copywriting, ad buying, and more. What if all this could be done for you? Replo designs and launches your shop and entire marketing campaign, and within a few days provide data about what you should change. We are building an ecommerce specialist in everyone9s pocket. Tell us what you9re selling, and we will sell it for you 9 whether that9s Tums during the Super Bowl (we did this!) or United Airlines tickets to Tahiti. To date,9ve raised over $8.2M from Figma, YCombinator, Vercel, General Catalyst, Infinity Ventures, MAGIC Fund, Base Case Capital. We grew from 5 to over 3000+ customers in less than 18 months. We9re headquartered near Union Square in San Francisco.
