Our team includes engineers, stylists, product thinkers, and storytellers—all working together to make shopping feel personal again. At Short Story, everyone is empowered to contribute ideas, challenge the status quo, and take ownership. We keep our decision-making lean and our feedback loops tight, because the best solutions come from those closest to the work. Our Product: Short Story is a wardrobe-as-a-service that connects petite women with clothing that actually fits.

Ensure quality and reliability : drive testing and automation across the stack (Cypress, Jest, React Testing Library, integration tests). Own deployment and operations : manage apps on Netlify, AWS, or equivalent, and build CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions. Champion engineering culture : set standards around performance, security, accessibility, and technical excellence. Must Haves: You are passionate about improving the user experience and have built and launched high-quality user-facing products.
