Were 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

If you want a place where you own real outcomes, not just tickets, youll fit in.

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

• Design our proactive AI agent orchestration layers used by thousands of high growth brands

• Prototype new interaction patterns for human-agent collaboration

• Raise our bar for engineering craft, help with recruiting, and hold the line on quality

• Dogfood the platform and our apps every day :)

Youll be a true owner, from prototype to production, and work side‑by‑side with the CEO, design, and key stakeholders, all while staying close to merchants to deliver value early and iterate quickly.
