Company Overview

Make a difference... a big difference. You will have the opportunity, in a unique and dynamic culture, to be a part of something meaningful. We're a disruptive startup with an inspiring mission. Learn and grow alongside our world-class team of print, operations, technology, and data leaders, dedicated to building a company that cares for all their clients like they were our own family. Our team and board members have decades of experience; with their support, we look forward to building on solid fundamentals.

The Role

Technology does amazing things in our daily lives, yet often is a source of pain and confusion within our industry. We want to empower Sepire to deliver a world-class customer experience with simple, flexible technical systems. If we need to delve into the murky underbelly of print and mailing to do that, we're up for the challenge. We're currently building with Angular, .Net Core, MSSQL, GraphQL, TypeScript, all on Azure; and we think it's a pretty awesome stack.

We want product analyst-owners with the judgment to simultaneously solve for short and long-term business value. We're looking for folks who have worked in complex domains and systems and come through it with some wisdom but most importantly humility. We want people who are passionate about building great technology to solve problems for users-our clients, our colleagues, and ourselves.

Whether you have a decade of experience or not, we are excited to learn from and share knowledge with you. Our leadership team includes seasoned alumni of digital print, consulting and technology organizations. Our founders deeply understand and care about good technology.
