Associate Software Engineer

Why Flitch

There’s a local hardware store or lumberyard in every town, yet most of the software used there is decades old.

We’re a venture-backed startup building a modern, cloud-based platform to power lumberyards and building material suppliers—covering point of sale, orders, inventory, dispatch, deliveries, and customer communication.

This is a opportunity to build software that makes a real difference to our users alongside a team of experienced and driven engineers.

What You’ll Do

As an early engineer, you’ll work across both product and engineering—not just building features, but helping define them. Product decisions are shared across the team, so you’ll collaborate closely on requirements, design, and prioritization.

You’ll gain valuable domain and technical experience by helping build and operate tools to onboard new customers onto Flitch. You’ll also work directly with customers to understand their needs and build full-stack features to support them.
