built products from scratch before. We are looking for a self-starter and a
critical thinker who speaks and writes well.
Our main project runs as a NestJS back end with data coming from PostgreSQL,
Mongo, and Redis, and uses both pure SQL and Sequelize; our front end utilizes
React components and Material UI on Next.js. We expect you to have ample and
proven experience in all of these.

and APIs.

on AWS and although we don't expect you to be an expert on DevOps you should
know how to work with Docker for local development and be familiar with
continuous integration and continuous delivery.

### What the role isn't
This isn’t a job with a large megacorp where you clock in at 9 a.m. and out at
5 p.m. It will be difficult but also incredibly rewarding and fun for the
right individual.

perfect plan for every task. We will work asynchronously as much as possible.
You’ll own your tasks and will be given peace to get them done.
We’ll be flying the plane while building it, and mistakes will be made.
Perfect is the enemy of good here and we’re all human. It’s how we respond to
these mistakes that creates raving fans that will help accelerate our growth.
### What's in it for you
Option to be Fully remote. While preference will be given to NY/NJ & Seattle
based applicants, you would be able to work 100% of the time anywhere
worldwide.
Generous equity options. You’ll be one of the first employees so that means
when we win you win. The goal is an exit or liquidity event in 3-5 years that
would put life changing money in your hands
Control over your schedule. You decide when you’ll do your best work and
optimize for that.
Ownership of your work. The goals will be set and it will be up to you to
figure out the best way to get them done. You won’t be micromanaged.
Get involved in everything. You won’t be a small cog in a big machine. You’ll
be treated like a partner and will have full transparency over every part of
the business.
Growth and learning. Staying up to the date with the latest technologies, and
learning new things are an integral part of the role.
### About You
You’re excited by the opportunity to get in early at a fast-growing startup
where you can use your skills to make a real impact on the company’s growth.
You’re an amazing developer and always the person other developers come to for
help because you have an ability to quickly spot issues and fix them.
You take full responsibility for your work, you work hard, solve problems and
want to get rewarded based on the value you deliver.
You’re able to take ownership of a never ending list of work to be done and
have a bias for getting sh*t done instead of aiming for perfection.
You have the confidence to push back on anything you don’t agree with and also
to be transparent when you don’t know something.
You can deal with constant challenges with enthusiasm knowing that solving
those challenges is what brings value.
No task is beneath you and you’re willing to do what it takes to better the
business.
### About the company
Emplicit has been incubatingFlatFile.Pro and Ecom3k.com. These are SaaS tools
that help companies that sell on the Amazon marketplaces. FlatFilePro is an
Amazon specific Catalog manager that allows for WYSIWYG catalog editing and
version control. Ecom3k is a data tool that exports Amazon data into either
Google Sheets or a Postgresql db for the seller to dashboard.
The apps grew out of the ecommerce agency’s biggest needs, the ability to
manage a large SKU catalog on Amazon and the ability to export and dashboard
data for their clients.
After reaching out to some in his network, the founder saw immediate strong
reaction to the value proposition and saw the potential in spinning the SaaS
out of the agency.
Since then 100% of the users have all come from word of mouth referrals.
The founder has an aggressive roadmap where he is looking to combine the 2
tools into one in order to provide catalog management and data services with
catalog optimization analytics for thousands of Amazon sellers.
