Carved is a small manufacturing / ecommerce company in Indiana that is looking to bring on a Full Stack Developer to help write and maintain code that runs our production and sales processes.

Over the past few years we have built an extensive amount of tools that help us throughout our production process. While this has been an ad-hoc process so far, we are now looking for someone to take what we’ve built to the next level. We integrate very closely with our Shopify store for sales data and product creation. 

We are looking for a full-stack developer who is experienced in AWS (specifically Lambda and serverless), Node.js, React, and Shopify APIs. Please note that you must have experience with all of these to be considered for this position. The ideal candidate will also be able to work directly with our manufacturing team to help design, build, and implement serverless manufacturing applications. 

This position will require you to be on-site every few weeks at our Elkhart, Indiana shop. The majority of the work can be done remotely but you will need to be on-site for implementations and testing with the production team.

Who is Carved?

Every single day we make hundreds of phone cases, wallets, bracelets and more. Except every single one is unique. Not just unique like a slightly different shade of brown leather. So unique that we actually photograph - every - single - one. 

We don’t have boxes of fully finished products sitting on skids that we just imported from some faceless factory somewhere and then slapped our logo on and called it “artisanally made.”   

We start with the raw materials (wood burls and resin) and our team of artists goes to work making, well, art. Then we take that art and marry it with something you normally don’t think twice about (but you touch hundreds of times a day). And we give it a name. Like Aldo or Zion. 

Suddenly we have something amazing. A product that has its own character and identity.  

We call it 1 of One. 

It’s not just “one of a kind” like a pair of leather shoes or handmade earrings. It’s a singular piece of art. No prints, no remakes. Just 1. In a series of One. When it sells, it’s gone forever. We’ll keep using the same colors and the same wood species, but we can never remake that 1. It’s literally impossible. Side note: it’s also really freakin hard to do, start to finish, but we’ve got a rockstar team that somehow makes it happen.

So, there you have it. Does this sound like a challenge worthy of accepting?  

Go ahead. Open the conversation. Who knows, maybe you’re the person to actually deliver on something that very few can say they achieved. We look forward to the conversation.
