About the Role
Batch'd and Vyve are fast-growing retail brands investing heavily in technology, automation, and AI to support their continued growth.
We are looking for a highly motivated Automation & Software Developer to work directly with the Technical Director, helping to design, build, and maintain the systems that power our stores, websites, and internal operations.
This is an opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects across two growing brands, gaining exposure to modern software development, cloud platforms, AI-powered workflows, e-commerce systems, and business automation. Your work will have a direct and visible impact on the business, with the opportunity to take ownership of projects and contribute to technical decisions from an early stage.
We do not expect candidates to know every technology we use. What matters most is your ability to learn quickly, think logically, solve problems, and use modern development tools to build practical solutions.
What You'll Be Working On
Examples of projects may include:
- Building integrations between Shopify, EposNow, Deliverect, Connecteam, and other business systems
- Developing cloud-based applications and serverless automations
- Creating internal tools, dashboards, and portals for operational teams
- Building AI-powered workflows and automation systems
- Developing customer-facing e-commerce features and web applications
- Supporting technology projects across both the Batch'd and Vyve brands
- Creating reporting and business intelligence solutions using data from multiple platforms
- Researching and implementing new technologies that improve business performance

As part of the interview process, candidates may be asked to demonstrate how they use AI-assisted development tools as part of their normal workflow.
We are interested in your ability to learn, solve problems, and deliver working solutions rather than your knowledge of any specific technology stack.
