Senior Backend Engineer; Go

About Rundoo ℹ️

Rundoo’s mission is to build cutting‑edge software that helps building materials suppliers enhance their businesses. Think of your local hardware store or mom and pop shop—these are our clients who we partner with across the country. From paint to hardware to flooring, stores across these industries sell over $1T of building materials annually using outdated, on‑premises systems. We’re aiming to change by being the first in the industry to empower independent supply stores with best‑in‑class technology.

Backed by leading investors including Bessemer and CRV, we've raised $18M across three rounds and are growing quickly. Our team is made up of builders, sellers, and industry veterans with a shared goal: to bring modern technology to an overlooked industry.
