Our values aren't a slide deck.
They're how we operate.

We wrote these down because we actually do them — not to put on a wall.

Ship fast, learn faster
We bias heavily toward getting real code in front of real merchants. Perfect is the enemy of deployed. Our iteration loop is days, not sprints.
🧠
First principles, always
We don't copy what SaaS companies do. We ask why — then build the right solution from scratch. Every feature is justified from a merchant's actual pain, not a competitor's roadmap.
🎯
Obsess over merchant outcomes
Our north star is a Shopify merchant looking at their listings and thinking "this actually works." Cost savings, conversion rates, time saved — these are the metrics that matter.
Async by default
We write well, document clearly, and respect each other's deep work time. Meetings are the exception. Clear written communication is a core skill here.
🎨
Care about design quality
We're building tools for fashion brands. The craft of the product reflects the craft of what merchants put on their stores. We hold ourselves to that standard.
🤝
Small team, full ownership
You'll own entire systems, not Jira tickets. Decisions get made fast because there aren't six layers of approval. Everyone's work ships directly to production.

The tech is genuinely interesting

We're not running CRUD apps. We're orchestrating multi-modal AI pipelines to generate photorealistic fashion content at scale.

Google Gemini 2.5

Our primary image generation backbone. Virtual try-on — draping actual garments onto model images — and generating full editorial scenes from scratch. Direct image-in, image-out pipeline.

AI Image Gen

Anthropic Claude Sonnet

Claude drives garment analysis, quality scoring, try-on prompt engineering, and full Shopify listing copywriting — title, description, tags, SEO meta, all tuned to each merchant's brand voice.

AI Language

Shopify Embedded App

Deep Shopify Partner integration — OAuth, Billing API, embedded App Bridge. We publish listings directly to merchant stores. The app lives inside Shopify Admin, not as a separate dashboard.

Commerce

Cloudflare R2 + Railway

All garment uploads and AI-generated images live in R2. Node.js/Express deploys on Railway. Lightweight, cost-efficient, scalable. No AWS complexity.

Infrastructure

Node.js + Vanilla JS SPA

Express backend, no frontend framework. The SPA is ~15,000 lines of vanilla JS — fast, no build step, easy to reason about. Boring infrastructure so the AI can be interesting.

Core Stack

SQLite + Cost Tracking

Better-sqlite3 for a lean local DB. Every AI API call is tracked against a custom CostTracker — we know our exact margin per shoot. Real cost data drives product decisions.

Data
"

We're solving a problem that costs fashion brands thousands of dollars per shoot. AI changes the economics completely. That's a once-in-a-decade shift — and we're early.

Picshoot — Founding Team

Honest reasons to join us

We're not going to tell you we're a rocketship. Here's the real picture.

01

Early equity that actually means something

We're pre-scale. The team is small. That means meaningful equity for people who come in now, not option refreshes that don't move the needle. If we build something that lasts, you'll have built it.

Early Stage
02

AI that's actually hard — and actually deployed

Gemini 2.5 virtual try-on, Claude-driven listing copy, multi-stage pipeline with quality scoring and auto-fix. This isn't a ChatGPT wrapper. It's a real multi-modal production AI system with real merchants using it every day.

Frontier AI
03

Real merchants, real outcomes, real feedback

We're past the product-market fit question. Shopify merchants are using Picshoot today. You'll see direct feedback from people whose businesses depend on the quality of what you ship. That feedback loop is rare.

Live Product
04

Ship cadence that keeps you sharp

We've gone from zero to full pipeline — try-on, scenes, zoom, listing copy, billing — in a very short window. We move at a pace that keeps you growing. If you thrive under that pace, this is the right place.

Fast Pace
05

Fashion x technology is an underserved intersection

Most fashion tech is legacy e-commerce tooling. Most AI startups ignore fashion entirely. We're at the exact intersection where something genuinely new can be built. The aesthetic of the product reflects the domain.

Unique Domain

Where we're growing

Some roles are actively hiring now. Others are roles we're growing into — if you're exceptional and the timing is early, that's often the best time to reach out.

Engineering
🔨

Full-Stack Engineer

Full-time Remote Actively Hiring

You'll own large parts of both the Node.js backend and the vanilla JS SPA that powers the 8-step shoot wizard. Expect to touch AI pipeline orchestration, billing flows, Shopify API integrations, and complex frontend state in the same week.

  • Node.js + Express — backend API, middleware, service orchestration
  • Vanilla JS — 15,000-line SPA, no framework, no build step
  • Shopify Partner ecosystem — App Bridge, Billing API, OAuth
  • Cloudflare R2 / SQLite — storage and data layer
  • Async-first; comfortable writing clear documentation and commit messages
AI / Machine Learning
🤖

AI / ML Engineer — Image Generation & Prompt Engineering

Full-time Remote Actively Hiring

The core of what Picshoot does is an AI pipeline — Gemini 2.5 for try-on and scene generation, Claude Sonnet for analysis and copy, with multi-stage quality checks, auto-fix loops, and cost management. You'll own this pipeline end-to-end.

  • Multi-modal AI APIs — Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 3 Pro, Claude Sonnet/Haiku
  • Prompt engineering for both image generation and structured text output
  • Quality scoring pipelines — deltaE94 color analysis, pattern mismatch detection
  • Cost-per-shoot optimization (we track every API call to the cent)
  • Ideally: experience with image generation APIs, not just text LLMs
Design

Product Designer — Dark Luxury UI

Full-time / Contract Remote Growing into

Picshoot is used by fashion brands — the aesthetic of the tool matters enormously. We have a dark luxury design language (~28,700 lines of hand-crafted CSS) and need someone who can push it further while designing genuinely complex product flows.

  • Strong craft in dark, premium UI — not generic SaaS gray
  • Experience designing multi-step workflows and wizard UIs
  • Comfortable with CSS and able to implement designs directly
  • Appreciation for fashion — you understand why a brand cares how their tools look
  • Portfolio showing dark or luxury-adjacent product design (not just landing pages)
Growth & Partnerships
🤝

Fashion BD / Partnerships Lead

Full-time Remote Growing into

We need someone who understands both the Shopify ecosystem and the fashion industry to build our partnerships — agency channels, brand deals, app ecosystem relationships. You'll define the go-to-market motion for a product category that doesn't really exist yet.

  • Network in Shopify agency ecosystem or direct-to-consumer fashion brands
  • Experience building partnership pipelines from scratch
  • Understands the economics of fashion e-commerce (COGS, photoshoot costs, conversion)
  • Self-directed — this role is blank-slate initially
  • Bonus: existing relationships with Shopify Plus brands or agencies
💬

Merchant Success Lead

Full-time Remote Growing into

When merchants run into issues — or when they get great results — you'll be the person who makes both experiences better. This role sits between support and product: you'll feed real merchant feedback directly back into the roadmap.

  • Strong written communication — async-first means text-first
  • Empathy for small business owners running Shopify stores
  • Curiosity about the product — willing to learn how the AI pipeline works
  • Bonus: experience with Shopify merchants or e-commerce operators
  • Bonus: understanding of AI-generated content and what good output looks like
