Engineering Lead / Senior Software Engineer

Who We Are

Story

Rivly is an ecommerce marketplace (like Amazon) that was founded in 2020 with a mission to enable American businesses to succeed. We watched as the current leaders have become increasingly dominated by sellers based overseas, while consumer data shows that American shoppers increasingly prefer to buy from U.S.-based businesses.

Rivly gives American shoppers what they’ve been asking for: a marketplace that aggregates the best U.S. businesses in a truly unique and engaging shopping experience.

Shopping on Rivly means you are choosing to support your neighbor, local businesses, and the push for “Made in USA.” It means you care about the environment, you care about giving back to the community, and you care about the future of our country.
