Distru (https://www.distru.com) | Senior Software Engineer | AI Product Engineer | Senior Product Manager | REMOTE (Americas & Europe) | Full-Time

Distru is the #1 ERP in the cannabis industry. $3.5B in annual GMV flows through our platform, and most of the top cannabis brands and distributors in the US run their entire operation on us to stay compliant.

We're profitable, stable, and growing. No runway anxiety, and we're reinvesting into new product lines. We're an intrinsically motivated team that works without ego, is constantly learning, and genuinely cares about our people (5/5 on Glassdoor).

Distru is at an inflection point. We have deep market penetration in cannabis ERP, a new commerce layer (Distru Commerce, a B2B wholesale marketplace) live and growing, and a roadmap with a growing AI component. Our live AI Order Agent already lets buyers submit orders in any format from any source, killing manual data entry, the first of many bets on using AI to strip the repetitive heavy lifting out of running an ERP.

The roles: You'll own mission-critical parts of the product end to end, from planning and design through implementation, testing, and shipping. You might work on AI-native features (order/purchase intake, smart product matching, systems that learn from user feedback), Distru Commerce storefronts and ordering, manufacturing and distribution workflows, cultivation mobile tools for the floor, or compliance integrations with state systems like Metrc. These are high-ownership roles: you'll partner directly with product, design, support, and our C-suite, and you'll get customers writing you personal "thank you" emails.

Stack: React + TypeScript, Elixir/Phoenix + GraphQL, PostgreSQL, React Native, LangGraph
