We Work Remotely
Everyone has their favorite college or band t-shirt, a company shirt, or a brand you like sporting. These apparel-based items are made at screen printing shops around the world and we help them stay organized and grow. It can be very difficult to manage a high-volume of those orders and that's where Printavo comes in.

On top of that, most current solutions are ancient, paper-based, and need more automation. Let's build the future of our industry together!

As a Sr Software Engineer, you will be hands-on shaping our platform in all ways from performance to integrations and every layer in between. As a platform that has been serving a quickly growing user base for 5+ years, we have had to keep up by relentlessly refactoring in order to continue to deliver value for our customers.

Who We Are:
Printavo is one of the leading software solutions for the custom apparel industry. If you’ve ever ordered custom t-shirts it’s likely that our software was running the show at that shop. With the work of our amazing team, we power printing companies around the world helping them to stay organized and grow.

Your Skills:
  • Communication: You know how to talk to computers and humans since they’ll both be on your team
  • Organization: Source control and writing tests is a reflex
  • Curiosity: You ask questions. Understanding comes from asking, you don’t just nod and walk away asking “what was that all about?”
  • Resilience: You don't fold under pressure. Rather, you thrive in a fast-paced environment
  • Pragmatism: Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither was Printavo. It was a series of choices made over a long period of time that got us to where we are, always with the guiding principle being to do right by our shareholders...our customers
