The Product
Printify is a high-growth, print-on-demand platform that connects e-commerce
merchants and print-on-demand manufacturers.
Our mission is to build a platform that lets anyone, anywhere unlock their own
personal freedom. The freedom to generate income, be your own boss, and set your
schedule. So far we’ve seen more than 6 million people sign up to start their
own eCommerce businesses with Printify. Because every order is made on-demand,
there’s no risk to getting started, just reward for putting in the work. Our aim
is to put this power to build a business into the hands of every person who
wants to create their own business. We transform business dreams into awesome
digital products.
We do this magic through 24 loosely coupled squads — each specializing in their
own area of expertise. These include, but are not limited to, Demand
Integrations, Growth, Order, Payments, Supply, and Product Presentation.
Printify is a true product company. Each engineering squad works on its own
product or area of expertise tirelessly. This yields sustainable, clean code
along with less technical debt.
Printify product teams consist of 3 to 6 developers each. They are
cross-functional, self-sufficient and highly autonomous teams, working in direct
cooperation with Product Managers and Designers.
Printifyers come from more than 20 countries. Our team has grown to more than
600 team members (and growing!).
