Summary
Senior/Principal Full Stack Engineer at a Boston e-commerce startup building cloud-based product content management SaaS for brands, distributors, and retailers. Day to day: build back-end storage and integration layers, REST APIs in Ruby on Rails and Scala, and help run a cloud-hosted distributed system.
We created our company to transform the way companies manage and share e-commerce product content. We provide cloud-based product content management solutions that make it easy for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to exchange high-quality content that drives online results. The company was founded in late 2012 by a team with deep experience in commerce, online search, and the semantic web. We’re confronting hard technology problems inherent in a decentralized, peer-to-peer model head-on—problems that traditional approaches have steered clear of. We embrace the lessons of open source development, letting users branch, pull, annotate, fork, and edit product content within and across organizations. And, critically, we make it easy enough for anyone to use. We’re a startup in Boston and a team with decades of experience powering the top e-commerce sites in the world. We’re striving to create a remarkable company, and we’re only just getting started.
