We’re building an AI agent for e-commerce - Zipchat.ai
We believe the LLM revolution will change the way humanity shops. We’re trying to figure out how exactly.
We work with hundreds of brands, are default-alive, and are focused on innovating in the AI/Ecom space.
We have a Shopify app, a WhatsApp app, but we’re building on top of open standards so we can support all kinds of merchants.

Why join
Get equity in the business
Freedom to build things your way
See your impact in real time → fast feedback loop
Be part of a small startup that has high ambitions
Why not join
We’re not a very social type of workplace - everyone works in their own lane, and we sync ad/hoc
You’ll be expected to ship 🚢🚢🚢
Work process
We try to push to prod every day.
We take “Ship fast and break things” to heart.
Also, “monitor your own stuff and make sure you fix things if you break something” 🙂
Innovation
velocity is our number one priority. We have no idea what will be
useful to merchants and what won’t be, so we try to ship → collect
feedback → ship → etc
We’re a micro team
We’re currently 3 founders, one of whom is technical.
You’ll be working alongside the tech founder.
You have the freedom to work however you like
We’re fully remote
There’s no working time ( CET is our anchor time )
You’re expected to spend ~30 productive hours* per week on the project
Nobody cares if you moonlight, have a side hustle, or you like to surf during the day - just do your job
You will be writing code 99% of the time, no bureaucracy
We have no meetings unless necessary ( async chat or Loom is preferred )
We have no planning, no deadlines, no sprints, and no methodologies → We take the next task and try to ship it ASAP
You figure things out, no babysitting
You’ll be presented with “shaped”** features ( not too concrete, not too vague specs )
You’ll need to figure out how to build them following our product philosophy
Nobody will babysit you, you’ll need to get things done or ask for help proactively
