Primary Kids (primary.com) - New York, NY
Hi, we’re Primary, a prelaunch vertically integrated ecommerce company that will change how parents shop for their children’s clothes. We are looking for a talented and experienced engineer to join our founding engineering team. Our founders were key executives at Quidsi, the ecommerce company behind Diapers.com that was acquired by Amazon for $545M. Our Creative Director has launched several successful online brands and I was most recently CTO at Lot18 where I lead the engineering team behind Lot18.com and later launched TastingRoom.com, the first technology enabled personalized wine club. TastingRoom went from 0-10M$/yr in less than a year and was built from scratch using Flask.
At Primary, we're building our website using Spree's Ruby On Rails ecommerce framework. I'm loving the framework so far and our stack is going to be really fun to work with. As we grow, I'd like us to be polyglot but for now this is awesome. We're not just building another ecommerce website with better design, we're going to rethink every aspect of how a company in our space operates and think smart, simple with technology at the heart of everything we do.
I'd love to hire someone who loves working on frontend technology but would obviously also be happy with a more fullstack engineer. I don't believe in putting people in a box (frontend/backend/etc).  Right now, I am mostly focused on hiring someone awesome who can be a good foundation for the kind of team I want to build. You would be on the founding engineering team and work closely with a really smart and friendly team. We are going to build something big here.
Some of the things I love about this company are that we value design, we're scrappy even though we raised a significant seed round from top seed level investors and we have well defined values as a team.
Say hi - I'm the CTO email me at REDACTED_EMAIL
