About Catalan.ai

At MIT’s Media Lab, the founders joined forces to transform how businesses manage pricing. Their vision led to the creation of Catalan.ai—a dynamic pricing platform that optimizes business performance in real time.

Grounded in integrity, curiosity, and excellence, Catalan is more than just technology. We believe in bold thinking, lifelong learning, and doing meaningful work with passion, purpose, and respect—for ourselves, our peers, and the journey ahead.

We’re building AI-powered tools that empower fuel retailers to make smarter, faster pricing decisions in an increasingly competitive market. As our product continues to scale, we’re looking for a Full Stack Developer based in India to join us as a contractor—with strong potential to transition into a full-time remote role.

• Independently manage timelines, milestones, and deliverables with minimal oversight
• Troubleshoot, test, and iterate quickly to maintain high system reliability
