We're building the next £100bn+ retailer, and hiring an FD to help us build our capital flywheel, sort inventory financing and negotiate credit terms, interact with our db + codebase to automate and build reporting.
Applicants should send me their favourite old annual report and what they learned from it, to ethan at dirac dot software
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Dirac is going to displace Amazon in e-commerce, and I’m looking for a suitably ambitious partner in crime to take us from series seed to A and beyond.
You’ll be building price/demand estimators, AI agents to run operations, helping our two excellent (but inexperienced) devs, running our systemd, doing dbadmin work, our stock backend etc.
Investors include will thorndike, charlie songhurst, patio11, backedvc
email ethan [at] dirac [dot] software if interested - don’t forget to include a favourite bit of coding/maths/engineering, a book recommendation and an interesting pun. Visa sponsorship possible!
Dirac is building the next Walmart-sized retail company over 10+ years. We sell d2c and are doing £300k-£500k monthly sales (lots of toys and reasonably seasonal). I built most the initial systems which run the company’s backend (purchasing, databases, pipelines etc.) but we will need something (and someone!) better to reach £1bn+ sales over the next four years
We need to go from a bunch of bash scripts coordinated by systemd, adhoc estimators and pipelines to a more coherent machine for demand estimation, matching products, warehousing and purchasing.
You’ll be mostly writing code (django+postgre+a hetzner server) but also helping our two more junior devs.
The vision for the company is twofold: (1) find 1000s of suppliers and wholesalers worldwide and (2) to ingest all their pricing, logistics and then move stock to where prices and demand is highest.
Visa sponsorship possible.
Investors include will thorndike, charlie songhurst, patio11, backedvc and some others!

We're building the 'walmart of import export'; think forklifts + hacking away on code above our warehouse eating deliveroo every night; investors include patio11, backedvc, invisible technologies.
To apply, send your CV to ethan [@] dirac [dot] software
don't forget to send the following alongside your cv ;) -favourite book -favourite mathematical integral, algorithm from computer science, or anything suitably nerdy of that sort
Merry February! About us: a small team (four in the office) working on the logistics, purchasing and warehousing stack required to sell O(£10^10)+ of d2c consumer goods sales p/a by 2030. We had sales of £407,000 in January, up 3.76x on Jan '24.
You'll be helping build the software backend for our operations. That means integrations for new marketplaces and suppliers, accountancy, pricing and order optimisation, logistics etc. You'll be reporting to the co-founder/ceo but also reviewing his code <'the most disorganised code I have seen in my entire life' said one person in a code review, apologies!!!> :)
What we do: we buy stock from suppliers and sell it online. Stock purchasing and logistics is handled by an internal backend which you will be helping to write!
About you: >2σ on ambition, >2.5σ technically. Formidable with some business sense. Wants to drive a forklift (our office and warehouse are on the same site).

Backed by patio11 & backedvc, we're an exporting startup, offering a chance to write code (django/postgres/python), learn to drive a forklift (Hyster J2.0UTT) and wire up label printers (brother-ql 1100c + a new zebra one which I bricked using Chat GPT sending commands directly through).
Experience as a forklift driver not essential. You should feel excited by writing and designing code which will analyze cash flows, optimise pricing, improve shipment monitoring.
The role would ideally start in November, but we can be flexible (forecasting labour demand on an exponential curve is non-trivial)
Email me [email protected] if interested.
To the software engineer: offering a chance to write code as either our third or fourth engineer (django/postgres/python), learn to drive a forklift (Hyster J2.0UTT) and wire up label printers (brother-ql 1100c + a new zebra one which I bricked using Chat GPT sending commands directly through).
Experience as a forklift driver or as a software engineer not essential.
Sales/Operations: help us open new marketplaces; get stock to whomever you sold it to; also learn to drive a forklift; dealing with compliance, licenses and related issues; map navigation skills and aviation a plus (the last one was a joke, but if you can drive that might be handy).
The roles would ideally start in late September/early October, as we are planning on reaching £1m/month in December 2024.
Email me [email protected] if interested.

About us: Revenue for June 2024 was just over £300,000, an over 5-fold increase on this time last year.
We're an export company, investors include patio11, charlie songhurst and Backed VC. Myself (Ethan) and Ruairidh started the company while students at Cambridge in August 2021, and after several pivots have ended up in logistics/export, fast growing, and profitable. We're chasing down £1m monthly revenue in December 2024, and want someone who loves the idea of shipping code and containers to get us there
About the role: Our first software engineering hire is joining next monday, and we are looking for one more, to write code on the desk next to me! You'll be shipping code to support new sales channels, wiring up label printers, probably eating an unhealthy amount of takeaway as a deliveroo editions is on the same warehouse block as us, and potentially being a backup forklift driver.
We disproportionately value earnestness and willingness to solve messy problems than extensive tech experience. Solving problems in logistics can involve a mix of code writing, data cleaning, and filling out forms. You were warned :)

We've just closed a £2m seed round (about a week ago!) and are aggressively investing in the growth of our software team and are very ambitious for our overall scale of the company. We want to fix the global (mis-)allocation of consumer goods.
The job:
-£100-150k salary plus 100k of stock options vesting under the company's EMI options scheme
Looking for first two software engineering hires to write code alongside myself (one of the two co-founders)
What we're looking for
Ambitious and earnest coders with a practical bent!
Other perks
-Learning to drive a forklift with David, our warehouse manager
Please email [email protected] (no recruiters!)
Monthly revenue has just passed £250,000 (5x year-on-year), and we've just raised our first seed round. On the back of that we're looking to hire our first full-time software hire, someone who would be excited to:
-ship code solving problems ranging from label printers to billing integrations to supplier acquisition -learn to drive a forklift with our warehouse manager David -try to beat our warehouse staff at chess (top rated player is nearly 2200-rated) -set up an automatic labelling machine for the 50,000 units which arrived yesterday morning...
It's a high impact role where you would have a lot of autonomy building out new business operations, working with a small team (5 - 2 cofounders, 2 warehouse, 1 stock purchaser) and the second person shipping code full-time in the organisation
