Our mission is to inspire entrepreneurs and shoppers to find something new. We buy great brands built on Shopify, unlocking liquidity for small business entrepreneurs looking to start new adventures. We manage nearly 50 brands with over 100,000 products across apparel, beauty, home goods, and electronics.

Our team of e-commerce experts and engineers uses our proprietary technology and tooling, and advantages from our size, to grow our brands at scale.

Two million people have purchased OpenStore products, and soon, we’ll launch a consumer shopping app, helping people discover products in an all-new way. OpenStore was started in 2021 by top investor and operator, Keith Rabois, a former executive at PayPal, LinkedIn, and Square, and a co-founder of Opendoor. We are backed with $150M+ from world-class investors such as Atomic, Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund, General Catalyst, and Lux Capital.

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY:

Today, e-commerce only partially replaces the in-person shopping experience. It’s still missing the joy of serendipitous discovery; the relief of fulfilling an urgent, last minute need; the immediate gratification of finding something just right. At OpenStore, we’ll fix that by building an exclusive shopping destination for top brands across OpenStore’s wide portfolio. It’s an incredibly ambitious goal, and in order to achieve it we need to deliver a delightful online shopping experience to consumers.

Join OpenStore as a Senior iOS Engineer, where you'll play a pivotal role in shaping our consumer-facing apps and e-commerce platform. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about the e-commerce space and how OpenStore efficiently operates 50+ brands, as well as partner with backend and AI engineers to land cutting-edge technology on a mobile surface which will be the world's foremost e-commerce engine.

What You’ll Do:

  • Take initiative in identifying and exploiting opportunities that create value for the company.

  • Design, develop, ship, and maintain complex and usable mobile applications independently and/or alongside other engineers as peers

  • Contribute to the future architecture of key systems and frameworks, balancing innovation and reliability.

  • Help develop a technical vision that generates massive business value and leverage for our cross-functional teams and business partners.

  • Partner with and wear multiple hats across product, design, engineering and operations.

Nice to Have:

  • Familiarity with the Shopify ecosystem.

Who You Are:

  • You like to build and ship. You value iteration, speed and progress over perfection. You choose to be optimistic but have a plan. You think strategically for the long term while constantly delivering to iterate on feedback and test your assumptions.

  • You thrive in fast-paced environments. Startups are ambiguous. You are highly motivated and proactive in navigating ambiguity in the business, collaborating with others to define and build world-class products.

  • You are analytically rigorous. You have a bias towards making data-driven decisions. You have an obsession in measuring the performance of your features and how they contribute to company goals.
