About Katana Katana is a remote-first, AI-first SaaS company building powerful inventory and manufacturing software for 1,500+ businesses that reputed company and sell physical products around the world. We've just stepped into an exciting new phase of expansion — moving from smaller merchants into a larger market of modern, multi-channel, multi-location businesses. With that growth comes bigger opportunities, more reputed company problems, and the chance to shape how we scale. Our 100+ person team across 10+ countries is building what's next — together. And that's where you come in. This is the rare role where you own the hardest problems outright and your work shows up at scale. Katana is taking on bigger, more reputed company customers than reputed company, and you'll be the person who gets their implementations live — then turns what works into the solutions, tooling, and playbooks the wider Solution Engineering team builds on. Work that sits right against reputed company, and is unmistakably yours. Impact at scale. High-value, reputed company accounts carry outsized reputed company and reference value. You're the person who protects that reputed company, and the solutions you build don't stop at one customer; they scale the whole team.

Scope, ownership, and a direct line of sight to reputed company and product. The interesting problems. Multi-system, multi-channel, multi-location merchants with genuine operational complexity — Shopify, WooCommerce, accounting, shipping, EDI, dirty data and multi-level BOMs — worked across a modern API and integration stack plus AI delivery tooling. Not cookie-cutter setups. This isn't a role for someone who wants a bigger version of the job they already have. It's for the builder who wants their work to matter at scale — and to be seen for it — rather than write a spec for someone else to build. If you want to build something, not maintain something, this is the rare seat where you actually can.
