Full Stack Software Engineer

About RetailReady

We’re RetailReady (YC W24) — an AI-powered supply chain compliance engine shaking up an antiquated (and yes, unsexy) industry. After YC, we raised a $3.3M seed round and went heads-down building for our first enterprise customers. Fast forward: we’ve signed over 10 enterprise deals and have a strong pipeline — we’re officially in scaling mode.

We're building software that solves real problems for real people in the supply chain – the backbone of every business. Your code will have immediate, tangible impact: empowering warehouse workers with cutting-edge technology that makes their jobs easier, ensuring retailers (think Walmart, Amazon, Target) can stock their shelves efficiently, and eliminating the compliance headaches that cost companies millions. 

This isn't abstract work – you'll see the direct results of what you build every day. Our engineers go onsite to warehouses to deploy live.

What We Build

RetailReady is the first AI-powered compliance engine designed specifically for retail supply chains. We automate the complex web of compliance requirements between brands, warehouses, and retailers, turning weeks of manual work into minutes of automated processes. Our platform integrates directly into warehouse operations and brands tech stacks, providing real-time compliance monitoring and automated documentation.

Why Retail Compliance Matters

• Massive disruption opportunity: Most supply chain systems are archaic - bad UX, weeks to onboard, outdated tech stacks
• Engineer's playground: So much to disrupt in the supply chain space with modern technology
• First to market: We're the first to solve operational retailer compliance within warehouses
• Fragmented industry: Compliance is scattered across brands, warehouses, and retailers - we're unifying it

About the Founders

We bring deep operational, product, and engineering backgrounds from Stord (supply chain unicorn) and Microsoft. We understand this space intimately, and in less then one year since launching, we've signed customers including Brümate, Natural Dog Company, and Ware2Go (a UPS company). Check out our Weekly Round Up Videos on LinkedIn to see our team culture.
