Channel3 is hiring a Founding Engineer to help us build a database of every product on the internet.
Our API lets any AI app or agent add shopping capabilities and earn commission on sales. As commerce moves from in-store, to online, to AI-native, this universal product catalog becomes critical infrastructure. We see Channel3 becoming as foundational to AI commerce as Stripe is to payments or Plaid is to fintech.
We just closed a $6M seed round led by Matrix (Apple, FedEx, AfterPay) with participation from Ludlow (Honey, StockX), Y Combinator, and Paul Graham. We're live with 500+ developers on our API and millions of products processed daily.
We're looking for engineers who want direct ownership of technical decisions, love solving hard problems at scale, and want to help build our team and culture from the ground up.
This role is in person, 5 days a week, in NYC. Unfortunately, we cannot sponsor visas.
Thanks for the feedback. We felt that $7 is reasonable. With an average online order value of $180 and average commission of 5%, you need to make just 1 sale in every 1000 to earn.
We've spoken with many merchants who are super excited about this use-case, actually! We think the web is opening up – e.g. Exa, Parallel, OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, etc. all do the same, and it seems like this agentic future demands it.
might be selective bias. try talking to folks who blocked scraping and you scraped them anyways and resold their data. see how happy they are. or try to talk to amazon, ebay, facebook for scraping their data, see how happy they are too.
Yeah, physical products for now. No groceries! We also use vector search + lots of LLMs, but not surprised you'd see funny search results here. We're working around the clock to make this better.
