About Banter

Online shopping hasn't changed in twenty years. We go through the same customer journey using the same features of add to cart, ratings, and reviews.


Worse, every time we go to an online store, we are completely alone. While online shopping is convenient, it doesn't feel good. eCommerce stores have stripped out emotion to become more like vending machines.


We believe commerce is at an inflection point. We are building Banter to productize the emotion of shopping. We are doing so by transforming storefronts from single-player to multiplayer experiences.


Reimagining the website as the place where consumers shop, socialize and learn will change how it feels to shop online.

We want to expand the value that users receive from communities through new ways of creating and consuming content that create belonging and entertainment.


Change how it feels core values of being fearlessly different, inspired, embracing autonomy, moving fast, seeking the truth, and telling great stories.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the engineering team of our ecommerce platform from concept to launch.
  • Be a strategic partner in defining and building our first product.
  • Work closely with the leadership and design team to ensure the product is beautiful and flawless.
  • Recruit and manage other engineers and become a leader within the organization.
  • Mentor our engineering team and help them grow.

  • Proficiency in languages such as Javascript, Typescript, Python, Go.
  • Familiarity with the Shopify and other ecommerce platform ecosystems is a plus.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with a track record of working cross-functionally in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
  • Strong attention to detail, ability to work independently, and comfortable with ambiguity.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
