## Job description

## ABOUT RUNDOO ℹ️

Our mission is to empower independent supply stores with best-in-class technology. Think of your local hardware store or mom-and-pop nursery—these are our clients. From paint to lumber to flooring, over 200,000 such stores across the country sell over $1T of building materials annually using outdated, on-premises systems. We’re aiming to help them modernize so that they can continue to thrive.

Backed by leading investors including Battery, Bessemer and CRV, we've raised $48M across four rounds and are growing quickly: We're live in over 500 stores across the USA, Canada, and the Caribbean, and integrated with over 20 industry partners. Our team is made up of builders, sellers, and industry veterans with a shared goal: to bring modern technology to an overlooked industry.

## ABOUT THE ROLE 💼

You’ll be based out of our Redwood City office and work in person with the rest of our engineering team. As a Software Engineer, you’ll ship features end-to-end across our stack: a Go backend, a TypeScript/React web app, and React Native mobile apps. Your work goes directly to the supply-store owners and staff who run their businesses on Rundoo every day.

You’ll report to one of our engineering leads and work in a small pod of about 4–5 engineers. You’ll own clearly-scoped projects from start to rollout, get deep in the part of the product your pod owns, and build your system and product intuition with mentorship from senior engineers through pairing and code review. It’s a good fit for someone 1–3 years into their career.

WHAT YOU’LL DO AS A SOFTWARE ENGINEER AT RUNDOO 🗒️

- Ship features end-to-end, from the proto and backend logic to the web and mobile UI
- Own small, clearly-scoped projects (typically 1–3 weeks) with limited direction, from scoping through rollout
- Go deep in your pod’s part of the product so you can fix arbitrary bugs and add new features with confidence
- Align with PM and tech lead on what you’re building and why, and write tickets clear enough for another engineer to pick up
- Talk to clients directly, calling stores to research how they work and to get their feedback on what you’ve shipped
- Write design docs for your features and reason about how your work interacts with adjacent systems
- Review teammates’ code and act on the feedback you get, keeping our codebase readable and maintainable
- Spot broken team processes and fix them, automating manual work where it speeds up delivery

## REQUIREMENTS ☑️

- 1–3 years of professional software engineering experience
- Solid command of computer-science fundamentals and fluency in at least one production language
- Comfort shipping features end-to-end and debugging across the stack
- Based in (or willing to relocate to) the Bay Area and able to work in person 4 days a week in our Redwood City office

## BONUS POINTS 🌟

- Experience with Go, TypeScript/React, or React Native
- Experience at an early-stage startup, or another fast-moving environment
- Familiarity with ERP, POS, payments, or other system-of-record software

## BENEFITS 🏋️

- Full medical, dental, and vision coverage (100% of premiums for you, 50% for dependents)
- Life Insurance
- 401k with Betterment
- Unlimited PTO with 10 company paid holidays
- In-office gym

## About Rundoo

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Rundoo provides an AI-first, cloud-based point-of-sale and operations platform purpose-built for independent hardware, paint, farm & feed, lumber, and lawn & garden supply stores.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A, total funding $18M)
- **Headquarters**: Redwood City, California, USA (additional office in Chicago)
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Andrew Beckman (CEO & Co‑founder) and Nick Hershey (CTO & Co‑founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Retail technology / point-of-sale (POS) software for independent building and agricultural supply stores.
- **Target customers**: Independent hardware stores, paint stores, farm & feed stores, lumber yards, lawn & garden centers (SMB / independent, B2B).
- **Mission or purpose**: Modernize the 200,000+ independent supply stores in the U.S. by replacing outdated, cobbled-together software with an AI-powered platform that makes it easier to run the business and serve customers better.

## Products & Services
- **Rundoo POS & Operations Platform**: A complete, web-based point-of-sale system with integrated payment processing, inventory management, customer accounts, and reporting. Designed to handle specialty workflows like paint tinting, seasonal demand, contractor pricing, and co-op catalogs.
- **Rundoo AI**: A set of AI features that use the store’s own sales, inventory, and charge‑account data to generate purchase orders, run price comparisons against nearby competitors, and answer natural‑language questions (e.g., “Which products lost margin last month?”).
- **AI Order Generation**: Automatically writes purchase orders based on historical sales, low stock, and seasonal trends.
- **AI Price Comparisons**: Shows how the store’s prices stack up against local competitors and suggests adjustments.
- **AI‑Generated Reports**: Responds to plain‑English questions with instant reports and insights.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$18M** (Series A closed ~2024, $11M last round)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Bessemer Venture Partners, CRV, Sequoia Capital, Plug and Play Ventures, Quiet Capital (and 6+ others)
- **Growth Signals**:
  - **500+** independent stores across the U.S. and Canada on the platform.
  - Stores using Rundoo see an average **17% increase in top‑line sales** and a **2‑point increase in gross margin** in the year after go‑live.
  - Charge‑account balances drop by **25%** (faster collections).
  - Strong hiring momentum: 50 total employees (20 product + tech) with open roles across R&D, GTM, and G&A.

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI‑first, purpose‑built platform**: Unlike general‑purpose POS systems, Rundoo is built specifically for independent supply stores, handling specialized workflows (tinting, bulk, standing orders, contractor pricing, seasonal demand).
- **Proven ROI**: Measurable, documented improvements in revenue (+17%), margin (+2 points), and receivables (-25%) for early adopters.
- **Data moat**: The AI models are trained on each store’s own data, making them more accurate and actionable than generic tools.
- **Integrated ecosystem**: Partners with major brands and buying groups, reducing friction for stores that switch.

## Strategic Focus
- **Deepen AI capabilities**: Make the platform “like your best employee” with increasingly autonomous ordering, pricing, and reporting.
- **Expand into new verticals**: The platform already serves hardware, paint, farm & feed, lumber, and lawn & garden; a “Product Manager, New Industries” role signals intent to enter adjacent segments.
- **Scale the customer base**: Grow from 500 to thousands of stores in the U.S. and Canada, leveraging AI as a key differentiator against legacy incumbents.
- **Build the team**: Aggressively hiring across engineering, data science, product, sales, and implementation to fuel growth.

## Why Work Here
- **Impact**: Work on a product that directly helps small‑business owners survive and thrive against big‑box competitors—measurable results.
- **Culture**: Hybrid model (4 days in office, Thursday WFH) with offices in Redwood City (R&D) and Chicago (GTM). Open, AI‑first engineering culture.
- **Benefits**:
  - 100% of medical, dental, and vision premiums for employees; 50% for dependents.
  - Company‑paid life & AD&D insurance (1x salary).
  - 401(k) with Betterment.
  - Unlimited PTO + 10 company‑paid holidays.
  - Daily team lunches.
  - Monthly gym membership.
  - Learning materials and audiobook subscriptions.
- **Growth stage**: Early‑stage private company with strong venture backing and proven traction—opportunity to shape products and processes as the company scales.
- **Remote options**: Some roles (e.g., Account Executive, Sales Development Representative) are remote; engineering positions are headquartered in Redwood City.
