About [Convexity](https://theconvexity.com/) For distributors and manufacturers, growth often means hiring more people to process orders, manage purchasing, and keep up with emails. Convexity changes that. It serves as the source of truth for inventory and an AI operations manager, automatically converting orders from emails and marketplaces into sales orders and invoices, forecasting demand at the SKU level, and telling teams exactly what to buy and when. Customers can also use Convexity directly through ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. The goal: inventory management on autopilot. ## Responsibilities You will work in person with the founders in San Francisco and operate with extreme ownership: every technical decision ultimately lands on your desk. - You will stay deeply hands-on across the whole stack: frontend, backend, data, infrastructure, and AI.
