Job Description

Shypyard is a fast growing early stage startup backed by top VCs and angels from Silicon Valley. Our goal is to become the backbone of operation for all e-commerce SMBs of the world.

We are looking for senior frontend engineers who are obsessed with delivering great customer experience and who truly care building software that truly solve customer pain points. As a early hire, you have the unique opportunity to build the product from 0 to 1 and have the freedom and ownership to shape the technology and product direction for the company.

We are a hybrid-friendly company and this position can also be fully remote, or in-person in NYC, LA or Taipei.

✨Mission

Our mission is to empower fast-growing brands to make better decisions, faster.

As former brand operators, we started Shypyard because we were frustrated by the lack of intuitive solutions for brands to manage their operations.

We are backed by top VCs, including Google’s AI fund and angel investors.

🏗 What are we building?

Shypyard is an early stage startup building a supply chain planning platform so brand operators can make better decisions, faster. Our platform is intuitive, and allows brands to play with their forecasts and scenarios in an unprecedented way.

Extensive industry research showed that Beauty and Personal Care had the highest ratio of excess inventory across all consumer product categories, so we’ve teamed up with world-class advisors from brands like Tower28, Revlon, Summer Fridays, Tarte Cosmetics. Our focus is to first solve for the beauty and personal care market.

Join a very special group (from Meta, LinkedIn, BCG, and others) that is working very hard to revolutionize how brands plan and operate.

Ultimately, our vision is to connect the entire ecosystem of suppliers, logistics companies, distributors and merchants into commerce graph and allow them to communicate across a unified platform. Through the platform data, Shypyard can provide unprecedented insights for both merchants and suppliers on aggregate supply and demand around the world, reducing the bullwhip effect seen throughout times of uncertainty, ie: COVID. Together with our customers, we can transform the global commerce supply chain to become more transparent, trustworthy and less wasteful.

How is it like working with us?

• Focus on Impact: As an early engineering hire, you will have the opportunity to work closely with the founders, designers and PMs to shape the product and work on challenging technical problems. What we care most about is delivering real value to the customer by listening to customer feedbacks and constantly iterating on the product.
• Moving fast: We are a fully distributed team between the US and Taiwan. As a small team, we work very closely and move quickly on product decisions and developments. We are looking for folks who want to be constantly challenged in a fast-moving environment.
• Communicate Transparently and openly: We strongly believe in transparency, and we communicate over Slack, Notion, and Tandem with any product direction or decision we make. We are also open to discussions regarding any product decisions.
• Working autonomously: you will be given full autonomy and trust on running your projects end-to-end, while still communicating early and frequently with other team members to stay aligned on the project goals and implementations.
