About Moon

An ambitious and independent stealth SaaS company incubated by Home Organizers, a market leader with decades of proven success in designing and delivering exceptional, innovative home organization solutions through its subsidiaries Closet World, Closets by Design, Brio Water Technology, and others. Backed by their deep industry experience and a commitment to be Home Organizer’s critical SaaS provider for its 6000+ employees, our team is building innovative solutions to solve universal problems that most businesses face — yet are not addressed by a single, unified tool. 

Our mission is to transform the entrepreneurial experience and deliver operational excellence for businesses across the world through a unified platform supercharged with proprietary AI agents. We want to unleash the creativity of billions and inspire the world to dream big and build fast. We’re a rapidly growing team of forward-thinking and, most importantly, committed builders. We are driven by the opportunity to push boundaries, reimagine the foundations of human work, and shape tools that power the next generation of “business operations.” The way the world views and does business is changing, and we are committed to leading this change responsibly.

This demanding role requires an unwavering commitment to excellence and a high-performance mindset. We are seeking exceptionally driven individuals who are not content with the status quo, who thrive on pushing boundaries far beyond a typical 9-5 schedule, relentlessly embracing cutting-edge technology, and leading rapid, groundbreaking development to fundamentally shape the future of business operations. This is not for the faint of heart; it is for those who are prepared to work with intense dedication and intellectual prowess to achieve extraordinary results.
