About the company

We’re building an AI-powered Shopify for service businesses. We help service pros (e.g., roofers, landscapers, painters, cleaners) acquire direct business, fast. Up and running within minutes using Gen AI, our digital storefront products help pros get discovered, trusted, and booked repeatedly.

Topline Pro was co-founded by Nick Ornitz (CEO) and Shannon Kay (COO), with an excellent team of 120+ rockstars and plans to expand further in 2026. We serve thousands of local service businesses and were named one of the top 50 Tech Companies building for SMBs in 2023 and 2024.

We’re YC-backed and well-funded, with several years of runway, and we’ve experienced rapid growth over the past year. We’re in a phenomenal position to scale, with the financial foundation, product-market fit, and momentum to go big. You’ll be joining at an inflection point, where the groundwork is laid, and the path to massive impact is clear.

Topline Pro is committed to building an inclusive workplace and assembling a team from diverse backgrounds. We ensure that individuals with disabilities receive reasonable accommodation throughout the application and interview process. We strongly encourage applications from underrepresented candidates and those from nontraditional backgrounds.
