About Carpe

Carpe is the fastest growing deodorant brand in the US. Our team is made up of smart people who care about the work, building together in person in downtown Durham, NC. The office is open, with plenty of quiet niches when you need to focus, and the pace is fast.

Ask anyone here what they like most about working at Carpe and you will get the same answer: the people. No ego. Honest feedback. High expectations. Everyone pitching in outside their job description.

Many of our customers have struggled with sweat for years and tried everything else before they found us. Most of them find us on our website, and that is where they decide whether to believe us.

About the Role

Our website is where people decide whether they believe in Carpe. We are hiring someone to make it better every week.

You come up with the idea, build it, launch it, and measure what it did. Your mockups don't get handed to someone else to build. When someone says "this page isn't working," you take it from there: figure out what matters, decide what to change, build it, test it, and ship it.

You will work alongside an experienced ecommerce team, learn our tools and systems, and take on bigger projects as you grow.

Your work will be visible, measurable, and tied directly to revenue.

What You'll Do

Make the website better

Build and improve landing pages, product pages, funnels, and the shopping experience

Find where customers get stuck, and fix it

Bring ideas to life in Figma, Shopify, HTML, CSS, Liquid, and AI coding tools

Build, QA, and launch your own work instead of handing it to a developer

Run the store

Manage products, pages, promotions, and storefront updates in Shopify

Set up bundles, subscription offers, and selling plans in Shopify and Recharge

Launch new products and campaigns on the site

When something on the site breaks or acts strangely, find out why and fix it

Keep the site accurate, fast, and working

Test everything

Turn what you notice into a hypothesis, build the A/B test, read the result, and ship the winner

Use analytics, heatmaps, and session recordings to see where customers drop off

Track conversion rate, average order value, and revenue so you know what your work did

Use what you learned to pick the next test

Figure things out

Learn new tools as the business needs them

Use AI to build, troubleshoot, and automate

Make repetitive work faster and clunky processes better

What We're Looking For

You have worked hands on with an ecommerce site, digital marketing, or online selling

You know a website has to sell, not just look nice

You have a strong visual eye and can make a page clear, attractive, and easy to use

You care how design changes conversion and retention

You open a new tool and figure it out instead of waiting to be trained

You have taken an idea and turned it into something real

You use data to make decisions and to measure what worked

You already use AI to work faster and build more

You own outcomes, not just tasks

You catch your own mistakes before customers do

Your title matters less than what you have built, improved, or figured out. Your background might be ecommerce, digital marketing, retention, merchandising, web design, or something else entirely. If you are the person on your team who knows a little about everything and always gets it done, you will feel at home here. If this excites you but you don't check every box, we would still love to hear from you.

Nice to Have

Managing a Shopify storefront or editing Shopify themes

Figma, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or Liquid

A/B testing in Convert, Optimizely, VWO, or similar

Recharge or another subscription platform

GA4, heatmaps, session recordings, or ecommerce reporting

Claude Code, Cursor, or other AI coding tools

Connecting platforms, building automations, or fixing integrations

DTC or ecommerce experience

This Is Not

A design role where you make mockups and someone else builds them.

A role with a detailed brief for every project. You turn a loose goal into a plan.

A role for someone who wants weeks to perfect a plan. Build it, learn from it, make it better.

What You'll Get

Competitive salary based on experience

A company computer of your choosing

401k

Health insurance (Carpe covers a portion), with vision and dental options

Employer paid life insurance

Free product, a snack and drink bar, and a team of brilliant, determined, and kind people to build alongside
