MetricLy turns décor inspiration into shoppable, augmented-reality rooms. After 18 months of heads-down R & D we have a proven AI style quiz, a live multi-vendor catalogue, and an AR viewer that drops furniture into real spaces at true scale. We’re racing toward an early-fall 2025 public launch and need a battle-tested engineering leader to transform polished prototypes into a production-grade SaaS platform.
The challenge you’ll own
- Architect & build a Go back end and lightning-fast server-rendered HTML front end, adding React/Node components only where they truly shine.
- Finish the must-have features: multi-vendor ingestion/search, mood-board builder, purchase-order flow, and WebXR/ARKit viewer.
- Write clean, high-performance, maintainable code and drive rigorous code reviews.
- Stand up CI/CD, observability, security, performance targets, and automated tests on AWS.
- Coordinate cross-functionally (product, design, research) to ensure every sprint meets business objectives and compliance standards.
- Launch, measure, iterate — and set the technical roadmap that carries MetricLy well beyond MVP.
