What the week actually looks like:


  • Shipping features across e-commerce storefronts
  • Building internal dashboards that the Business Operations Teams actually use so they can move away from spreadsheets

  • Data pipelines turning raw information into insights the business can trust
  • Automating manual processes with real, measurable impact
  • Working daily with AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot as genuine collaborators, not side experiments
  • Championing AI adoption across the business & spotting opportunities, prototyping, helping non-technical teams get on board


This is a small, sharp technology team that punches well above its weight, and your work won't sit in a backlog. What you build on Monday can be informing a business decision by Tuesday.

This is a super visible and impactful role, one that is set to GROW. This is the role to take your career to the next level!
