Join an A+++ Team
Built for people who want in early.
We're looking for people who want startup life: autonomy, impact, and real ownership.
At Bustem, you'll help ecommerce brands take down copycats, counterfeits, and unauthorized resellers. We're the only bootstrapped player in our industry: young, hungry, and scrappy. We went from $0 to $5M ARR in under 18 months, and you'll help us take it to $20M, seeing exactly what it takes to scale from the inside.
Who we're Looking For
1. You have extreme agency.
You're impatient in the best way. You reply fast, decide fast, and ship fast. Bureaucracy and slow movers drive you up the wall, and when you feel like the team could be moving quicker, you push.
2. You’re scrappy.
Our MVP was a South African VA, a Google Sheet, and a Slack channel. That got us to 30+ customers and $1M ARR. We're fine moving fast and breaking things, because that's how we got here.
3. You have an ownership mindset.
Booked calls. MRR added. You measure yourself by what you ship, not hours logged. Output is the point.
What are our Values?
• Speed Is The Advantage: We move faster than everyone else and win because of it.
• Execute Without Permission: Create momentum. Don’t wait for it.
• Come With Solutions: Bring ideas, not just issues.
• Obsess Over Outcomes: Focus on impact, not activity.
Why Join Us?
We're the only bootstrapped player taking on counterfeits and copycats for ecommerce brands, and we went from a Google Sheet and a Slack channel to $5M ARR in under 18 months. Join us early and you'll have real ownership, move faster than anywhere you've worked, and see exactly what it takes to scale a startup from the inside.
We're young, scrappy, and obsessed, and we're just getting started.
