🏢 About Distro
Distro is building the AI platform of record for inside sales and counter reps in the industrial distribution industry. Our platform helps reps quote faster, close more business, and improve margins — all while delivering a superior customer experience.
We’re a well-funded, post-YC (S24) startup with strong early traction and growing customer demand. Our goal is to modernize a massive industry that has historically been underserved by software.
👩💻 About the Role
We’re hiring a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our early technical team. You’ll work across the stack to build, ship, and scale core product functionality. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role — ideal for someone who’s built at early-stage startups and is ready to do it again.
You’ll collaborate directly with the CEO and founding team, operate with ownership, and help lay the technical foundation for the years ahead.
🛠 Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain features across the full stack
- Translate product and customer needs into scalable, reliable software
- Collaborate on architecture, design, and technical decisions
- Write clean, testable code with attention to performance and maintainability
- Operate independently and take full ownership of projects
- Contribute to system design, internal tools, and infrastructure as needed
✅ What We’re Looking For
-
6+ years of professional experience building full-stack web applications
- Proficiency with React/Next.js, TypeScript, and MongoDB
- Track record of shipping in early-stage, fast-paced environments
- Experience with devops and infrastructure-as-code (AWS or similar)
- Strong engineering fundamentals and ability to make pragmatic decisions
- Comfortable working with ambiguity and evolving priorities
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
🌱 Bonus Experience (Nice to Have)
- Exposure to AI/ML workflows, LLM APIs, or vector search
- DevOps, CI/CD, or infrastructure-related experience
🧭 How We Work
- This is an in-person role based in Palo Alto
- We work in office Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday
- Wednesdays are remote
- Every engineer at Distro is an individual contributor writing production code
- We prioritize speed, accountability, and strong cross-functional collaboration
📈 Why Join
You’ll be joining Distro at a formative stage — with real traction, real customers, and a huge market in need of transformation. This is an opportunity to help shape the product, the codebase, and the company’s future.
If you're excited by early-stage product development and want to build something impactful, we’d love to hear from you.
