Our team has built listing creation, inventory management, repricing, and fulfillment software currently used by tens of thousands of the top Amazon and eBay sellers.

Engineering at Zinc
Our culture is very engineering driven. Our engineers work with our founders, customer support leads, and sales leads to architect new features. Features are largely based on requests from our biggest customers and biggest leads. We deploy early and often, and we've built a robust set of devops tools for continuous deployment and monitoring.
- Ownership over a product that makes $2M ARR and literally pays the bills for thousands of online entrepreneurs (large eBay and Amazon sellers).
- Scraping sites like Amazon hundreds of times a second for our ultra-high-frequency repricing
