EQL

Come shape the future of commerce built for passion with us!

What’s commerce built for passion? It’s a fair question, especially since EQL is the first of its kind.

We're building commerce for brands that don't just have customers, they have fans. Where the passion that surrounds products is off the charts, but also means the experience has traditionally gone off the rails with lackluster experience—sites crashing, bad actors, empty carts. If you’ve ever tried to get your hands on a pair of Jordans, coveted handbags, Taylor Swift tickets, or a ticket to a footy final, you know what happens next.

Fans and bots rush the retailer’s site. The thing you thought you had in your cart disappears. You desperately click ‘next’, and after staring at a spinner for the longest time, you get forcibly logged out and end up back on the homepage. Five minutes later, you’ve got a pending charge on your credit card but nothing to show for it. Soon you’ll be turning to the resale market in desperation…

This is where EQL comes in. We’re on a mission to build the world’s first and fairest launch platform for both fans and retailers.

Our platform helps global brands and retailers maximize these high-intensity retail moments. We provide hype-scale infrastructure, bot and scammer detection and robust checkout management so that sites don’t crash, scammers are squeezed out, and REAL fans win. We do this using a bunch of extremely cool and innovative technologies, and we’re constantly iterating to improve the fan experience. We’ve raised capital from leading VCs and angel investors across the world who believe in our mission and who are as excited about solving this pain for our customers as we are.

Who we are

EQL is a place where people can thrive and bring their whole selves to work while solving some really cool challenges. It’s fun, it’s hard, it’s the bravest thing we’ve done, and we are looking for brilliant people to do it with us. We know that we’ll win by building a company of talented, curious people to help us tackle the gnarly hurdles we know are coming. Over the last 12 months we’ve already managed to find some of the best, brightest, and most importantly kindest out there and we want to continue that trend! If you think you might be one of these people, we’d love to have you on board.

We know that when applying for jobs, it is very common for people, particularly women or those from minority groups, to focus on their gaps and weaknesses, rather than their strengths. If you’re passionate about EQL’s mission but you don’t feel totally confident you meet all our selection criteria, we strongly encourage you to apply anyway.
