Product Engineer - Frontend

This is a frontend focused role, with opportunities to contribute across the stack as part of building end to end product experiences. We’re open to candidates at intermediate and senior levels.

About Micromart

Micromart is building the platform for unattended retail. We empower entrepreneurs to turn any location into a retail opportunity, from offices and condos to gyms, hotels, and other shared spaces. Our focus is on giving entrepreneurs powerful tools that are simple to use, while delivering a fast, intuitive shopping experience for shoppers.

Often described as Shopify for physical commerce, Micromart provides the infrastructure that powers unattended retail in the real world.

Our Team

Micromart launched just over a year ago and is now used in thousands of locations across North America. We’re a small and growing team working closely across product, frontend, backend, and smart store systems, from design through production.

Work here is end to end. That means starting from real customer problems, making pragmatic tradeoffs, shipping code, and improving the product over time. As we scale, there’s real ownership, real impact, and room to grow.

Our Values

We’re driven by ambitious, mission-focused thinking and a deep commitment to earning customer trust. We value craftsmanship, simplicity, and quality, and we’re intentional about how we build, the tradeoffs we make, and the problems we choose to solve.

We believe in getting things done thoughtfully, improving continuously, and working closely together to build a great product.

Why Micromart

You’ll work on tools that real entrepreneurs and shoppers depend on every day. You’ll help shape product experiences used across thousands of locations, from operator tools to in-store and mobile experiences. You’ll join a small team where frontend is central to the product and your work has clear, visible impact.

We believe software should empower people to build real businesses in the physical world. Micromart exists to give entrepreneurs practical, durable tools to create opportunity where people live and work, and your work will directly support that.

This year marks a major growth phase for Micromart. We’ve achieved a lot with a very small team, built the core smart store product and the platform that powers it, and are now focused on scaling, shipping new product capabilities, and raising the bar on product quality and our technical stack.
