Gumroad is great for folks who like to focus on shipping high-quality work for our customers instead of socializing or meeting.

We do it by being flexible (working 20-35 hrs a week), transparent, asynchronous, and high-trusting. We also have a very high adherence to our (limited) process.

This way of working isn’t for everyone. Some internal docs to help you decide if it’s for you:

Full-stack engineers

You’ll ship product features, fix bugs, and remove technical debt. Our stack is Ruby on Rails + React. You should have familiarity with using both in production.

This role is $85/hr ($149k/yr) and is worldwide.
