How 18 people ship against the whole field

Syndrax is an 18-person company headquartered in Portland, Oregon, founded by Daren Hill. Against a competitive set that includes AutoDS and a crowd of drop-shipping and repricing tools, the team's edge is structural: instead of building a tool for one slice of a seller's workflow, it builds one operating state across all of them.

A team built product-first

Daren Hill's hiring rule is simple — everyone touches the product. Engineers ship to live sellers. Marketers talk to the operators who keep nine marketplaces in sync. Support engineers escalate with full context. No one is walled off from the customer, which is how a small team keeps the roadmap honest.

Growth on purpose

The team is growing fast, backed by a $150,000 acquisition. Hiring is open across cloud administration, DevOps, platform engineering, and marketing — the roles are listed on the careers page, with applications read by recruiter Nina K.

Portland, remote-first

Syndrax is based in Portland, Oregon, and runs remote-first across US time zones. The company keeps a small overlap window and ships asynchronously — the same discipline it sells: every change visible, every state legible.
