At Gentoo, we’re a small team building the agentic commerce platform.
We’re still early, which means every engineer here has a chance to shape not just our product, but redesign the future of e-commerce in the AI-native era.
We’re looking for full stack, software engineers who get excited about turning visionary ideas into clear, intuitive experiences—and who care about every detail that makes a product feel fast, simple, and alive. If you want to move quickly, build things that millions of shoppers will actually touch, and be part of a team that obsesses over craft, Gentoo might be the place for you.
What you’ll be doing
•
Join at the ground floor to help build the foundations of an agentic commerce platform that has the potential to reshape how online stores operate.
•
Work across every layer of the product—whether it’s the SDK that lives inside storefronts, to the data pipeline that keeps everything flowing, to the partner console that merchants depend on to run their business.
•
Move quickly from idea to production, learning from real merchants and shoppers, and seeing your work impact live businesses in days, not months.
•
Help decide the technical direction and culture of the team: choosing the tools, patterns, and practices that will let us move quickly without breaking trust.
Qualifications
•
Strong fundamentals in software design with a record of shipping
•
Proficiency in one or more modern languages and the ability to learn quickly

Clear API design and hands-on work with databases, queues, and caches

Ownership, sound judgment, and clear communication in a fast moving, ambiguous environment
