Senior people, small teams
You'll work directly with founders and leads, not through three layers of project management. The day-one work matters and you'll see it ship.
Careers · We're hiring across all disciplines
Come build things that ship — with people who actually care.
EcomForge is a small studio that puts senior people on every project. No SDRs, no agency politics, no "client services" layer between you and the work. If you're allergic to slop and ship like you mean it — we want to talk.
Why work here
A studio that actually feels like a team.
Four things people tell us they noticed inside two weeks — that they couldn't get at the bigger places they came from.
Async & remote, properly
Remote since 2015. Async by default, calls only when they actually help. We optimise for focus time — not for showing up on Zoom at 9am sharp.
Real career growth
Quarterly check-ins, salary reviews twice a year, and a training budget you actually get to spend. Promotions are based on shipped work, not tenure.
Profit share, every year
Once you're past probation, you share in the studio's profit. Good year for the studio, good year for everyone who built it.
Open roles · Updated weekly
Six roles. All remote. All shipping.

General application →How we work
The week-one feel. The year-five rhythm.
Six honest answers to the questions people ask before they sign — about hours, autonomy, focus time and the day-to-day.
01
Async by default. Calls when they help.
Most of our communication is written — Slack threads, Loom walkthroughs, Notion docs. We meet for kickoffs, weekly demos and tough trade-offs. Not status updates.
"My calendar has 3 meetings a week. The rest is build time."
02
Outcomes > hours
We don't track time. We track what shipped, what worked, and what we learned. Take a long lunch if you ship the work.
"I work in two long focus blocks and the studio never blinked."
03
Senior on every project
You won't get sandbagged with junior support work. Each project has a lead engineer, a designer and a strategist — and you'll be one of them, not a backup.
"My first week I was the engineering lead on a Plus replatform."
04
Real budget, real autonomy
£2k/yr personal learning budget, no approval needed under £200, a co-working stipend for those who like an office two days a week.
"I bought the conference ticket on Monday and submitted the receipt on Friday."

FAQ
Before you hit send.
Where can I work from? Are there time-zone restrictions?
We're a global remote team — most of us are in UK / EU / India time zones. We don't require overlap with any specific timezone, but most roles need 3–4 overlap hours with EU mornings for kickoffs and demos. We'll tell you on the intro call exactly what the role needs.
Do you offer relocation or visa sponsorship?
No — we're remote-first and roles are remote forever. You should be legally able to work from wherever you're applying from. If you want to relocate, that's your call and on you, but the role stays remote either way.
What's the comp range?
Honest range posted on the role page when we open the conversation — usually competitive with London / Berlin / Bangalore mid-to-senior bands depending on your region. Plus profit share once you're past probation, plus a meaningful training budget you actually get to spend.
What does the paid trial day look like?
You pick a day that works for you — usually a Friday. We give you a real, scoped task (not a take-home puzzle): a PDP redesign brief, a CRO audit on a sandbox store, a Hydrogen migration sketch. You work alongside the team in Slack, ask questions, and ship something we'd actually use. We pay your day rate regardless of the outcome.
What if I'm a junior or career-changer?
We're hiring senior-track right now, but always send us your work. We sometimes open junior roles (and hold a small apprentice intake each year) — your application stays on file and we'll get in touch when there's a fit.
