Overview

Tapcart is the leading mobile app platform for the world’s fastest-growing Shopify brands. We help marketers and eCommerce teams strengthen their brands and create differentiated customer experiences through a direct mobile channel. Our platform powers mobile shopping for over 50 million consumers and processes more than $8 billion in revenue annually. Brands like Béis, Grove Collaborative, and Ruggable trust Tapcart to turn mobile traffic into high-retention, high-growth relationships — with mobile apps launched in hours, not months.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the CMS Team you will create the authoring experience that enables our merchants to manage their account, build and deploy their app, create marketing campaigns, and review their app’s business performance across key metrics.
