Tapcart makes mobile shopping easy, fun and attainable for every brand.

We are inspired by the future of mobile. We work to inspire that future.

At least 4 years of professional Front-end development experience
3+ Years of Experience in React including state management, animations, and Webpack
Deep understanding of React/Javascript testing frameworks
Awareness of performance considerations such as cross-browser compatibility, components, SCSS and Styled Components, and load-time optimizations
Experience collaborating and mentoring teammates

What you will be doing:

Working on our Mobile Web Storefront: 80% of the internet is on mobile. Our vision is to consume that traffic and build a native-esque storefront that billions of consumers use to shop every day
Building our Customer platform: This platform is used by our customers to launch and manage their native apps in real-time. Our vision is to build a robust dashboard that makes creating and managing apps easy, attainable, and fun for every brand
Working on our Analytics dashboard: Our dashboard provides real-time analytics on mobile and brand performance through meaningful data visualizations. Our goal is to be one of the five dashboards always open on our customer's browsers every day

Tapcart Values:

Teamwork First: Our product and innovation are a reflection of our team and culture. We care about results, but not at the expense of the team.

Be your own customer: We think like a customer and set high standards for ourselves. We want to build things we would use and we empathize with the customer to bring their ideas to life.

Think big. Plan Big. Execute big: We have an appetite for big ideas that move the team and company closer to our mission. We plan accordingly and believe that big ideas require big execution.

Transparency & Clarity: We believe ideas, feelings, and information are never hidden. We are prepared to give and receive constructive feedback in order to grow our team and company.

Bring your 'A' Game: We believe when we set a high bar for our work, seek feedback from others, and iterate on our process we can achieve whatever we set out to do.

Zahaan Jasani

Back-end Engineer

Fulfilling work

Immediate influences on product development

Engineers are invited to make significant contributions from the start. Since joining less than a year ago, Zahaan has offered solutions to product requirements, evaluated and tested new databases, libraries and languages, and has taken the lead on large projects while contributing to smaller ones. His latest challenge: creating a workflow orchestration system that will run at scale and span multiple databases and systems.

Our engineering approach is successful because we take ownership of the systems we work on, which makes the process and collaboration fulfilling.

Chris Bassett-Bouchard

Senior Account Executive

Measurable Impact

See contributions push the needle

Two months after joining Tapcart as the first account executive in 2018, Chris sat out a company ski day in Lake Tahoe to present a demo to a Shopify merchant that had called that morning. But he wasn’t alone; CEO Eric Netsch joined him. After laying the foundation together that morning, Chris later closed the deal and secured one of Tapcart’s biggest accounts to date.

As a sales rep at a startup, you can see your own work in action as the company crosses revenue milestones and increases valuation. It’s especially fulfilling to see that type of measurable impact.

Val Brugueras

Implementation Manager

Customer-Driven

An aim to please and grow

Since joining Tapcart in August 2019, Val has guided clients through the onboarding and launch of more than 800 apps. Recently, Val worked with a hairpiece company with a large social media following that was looking to expand their business through a mobile app. One month after going live — and thanks to Val’s support — the company’s app reached a 90.8 percent retention rate and generated over $200,000 in sales.

Merchants sometimes struggle to learn new technology and being able to make this process easy and effective for them truly makes me happy.

An Insider's view of Tapcart

How does your team reward individual success?

We have an ongoing ritual in the office to ‘Ring the Gong’ every time we hit a milestone such as an account upgrade or an app going live in their respective app store. This small but memorable act encourages everyone to continue to push the limits and show the world who we are as a brand!

Val

Implementation Specialist

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

I work with such amazing, approachable, creative people who are always down to help. We are all striving towards the same goal so it is great that I can simply walk over to a fellow coworker, lay some whacky idea on them, and next thing you know we are both running with it and turning it into something viable for the company, it is truly inspiring.

Cole

Senior Lead Customer Success

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I first started at Tapcart when the team consisted of 4 people and I was brought on as the only designer. The mix of trust/responsibility paired with good vision/direction allowed me to learn more than I ever have in such a short time span. Top that with a work environment where we all learn from each other as well as have a great time together!

Alex

Head of Design

What’s the vibe like in the office?

Tapcart’s office vibe is so positive and uplifting. I seriously look forward to coming in everyday, not only because I consider everyone a friend, but we’re all working together towards making an awesome product even better. We constantly collaborate between different teams and support one another, which makes for an awesome company culture.
