What is Mood?

Mood is one of the fastest-growing e-commerce companies in the US.

We help people buy the highest quality hemp THC products online. We have 200,000+ customers, an average rating of 4.9/5, profitability, and a $70m run rate - and we are less than 1 year old!

Our mission is to help people access safe, high-quality THC products tailored to their use case - from reducing chronic pain to having a fun night with friends.

We have a small core team with senior employees from Y Combinator backed startups, Smile Direct Club, and Warby Parker.

It's not our first rodeo (David's from Texas after all ) - our founders have built and scaled multi-million D2C companies and held key roles at leading startups. We care deeply about creating great products, hiring a world-class team, and creating the environment to do our best work.

With proven product-market fit, we are hiring to help us break the $100m mark and build a generation defining e-commerce company.

The opportunity

Our systems handle millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of users each month.

As a senior backend engineer, you'll split your time between architecting and hands-on coding. Following our principle of preferring to buy over build, we lean heavily on existing eCommerce solutions. This means there are often complex data/architecture questions. And you'll need to write small services (Cloudflare workers) to get the systems talking to each other and the data flowing.

Potential for becoming a team lead/tech lead: We are currently a tech team of 3 and looking to grow to 10 by early next year. This means there's scope to take on responsibility as either a team lead (coaching, managing, and hiring) and/or a tech lead (driving technology and architecture decisions).
