Job Description

Hi there!

We're Sweed, a product-driven startup building an all-in-one cannabis retail platform. We’re on the lookout for a Head of Product Ecom to join our team remotely and help us scale and optimize our platform.


About Us

At Sweed, we’re reimagining how cannabis retailers operate. Our enterprise-grade platform combines POS, eCommerce, Marketing, Analytics and Inventory Management into a single, seamless solution—eliminating the need for multiple third-party tools.

We believe in simplicity, efficiency, and innovation. That’s why we build for scalability and performance, making life easier for cannabis retailers while driving real business growth.

Why We’re Doing This

At Sweed, we believe in the medicinal potential of cannabis. It has been shown to help with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and many other conditions. Despite the lingering stigma, we see cannabis as a powerful tool for improving lives.

The industry is evolving rapidly, and we’re here to drive that transformation—making cannabis retail more efficient, accessible, and customer-friendly.


Where We Are Now

We’ve been on the market for 6 years, continuously growing and refining our product.

  • Optimizing performance at every level of the tech stack

  • Implementing a modern cloud architecture with gRPC
