We are a funded and growing B2B startup which helps companies source marketing related goods – initially specialized in print we are currently expanding our offerings for our clients. Apart from running a print product pricing and order brokerage API we are also in the process of carrying out various highly customized IT projects with large companies in Europe.

Our backend tech stack is Elixir, Rust and Postgres, our servers are Linux. Our internal services and tools are usually either API-only or a combination of API and frontend, written in Elixir. Some of our customer-facing frontends are written in JavaScript (which we maintain), some in PHP (which we neither maintain nor administer). Since we’re currently growing, we can offer work on any part of our systems and software solutions and are open to personal models regarding working hours and remote work.
