Come build with us.
Who we are
Vendo lets anyone deploy and customize open-source software in one click. We’re the consumer layer that strips away the technical hassle, so anyone, not just developers, can pick a tool, make it their own, and start using it in seconds. We’re here to make open-source accessible to everyone.
We’re a small team and the product is early. What you build here genuinely shapes where it goes. You won’t be polishing someone else’s roadmap; you’ll be deciding what the roadmap is.
Want the why behind all this? Read our manifesto.
What we’re looking for
- You've gone deep on AI tools and use them to 100x your output.
- You're high agency: you don't need to be managed, you build alongside us.
- You make things constantly, on your own, for fun or for real.
- You've built things that have been used by real users.
- You pick up new things fast, whatever the work needs.
- You care about open-source and the products being built on top of it.
- You want to start your own company one day, and want us to help you get there.
