Build, test, and deploy Java backend services supporting post-purchase fulfillment and manufacturing workflows. Improve system reliability, scalability, monitoring, alerting, incident response, CI/CD, and observability. Collaborate with engineers and stakeholders on product launches, vendor integrations, architectural decisions, code reviews, and pair programming while contributing to internal platform tooling and developer experience.
MOO brings brands to life in a sustainable way, with a range of remarkable print and merchandise products. We combine design, technology, manufacturing and service, so that people can connect in memorable ways. Not online but out there, in real life.
We started in 2004. Since then we’ve built an award-winning and much-loved brand, with customer satisfaction and Trustpilot ratings that make most businesses want to give up and hire an army of review bots. We’ve got half a million customers, mostly small and medium businesses in North America, the UK, and Europe – businesses that, like us, get all excited about putting something real and beautiful into people’s hands. Does that make us nerds? Probably, and we’re ok with that.
We’ve been given the highest business award in Britain, ‘The Queen’s Award for Enterprise’. Backed by venture capital, we’re part of Tech Nation’s ‘Future Fifty’, recently passing $1bn in lifetime revenue, and featuring in the Guardian’s top 10 UK start-ups list. Ok, we’ll stop bragging now.
Today, we’re more than 400 people with our global HQ in London, UK, while we also have premises in Dagenham. In the US, you’ll find us in Boston, MA, as well as East Providence, RI and Denver, CO and with our most recent office expansion in Cape Town South Africa.
The Forge team is focused on enabling branded product launches through our expanding network of vendors while improving our in-house internal manufacturing system. Our mission is simple: to power product launches that grow revenue for MOO by enabling our manufacturing team to produce high-quality products quickly and efficiently.
We operate as an agile team, working closely with internal stakeholders to orchestrate the post-purchase journey from the moment a customer checks out, to the moment their custom-branded product arrives at their door. Our platform plays a crucial role in ensuring that every new product launch is scalable, efficient, and beautifully delivered.
