eko is an innovative e-commerce startup dedicated to empowering brands to create, display, and optimize their video assets across digital platforms.

Thanks to our groundbreaking partnership with major retailers and our ability to demonstrably increase e-commerce sales, we recently opened a new facility focused on processing, capturing, and delivering data & media for millions of unique products annually.

Our first-of-its-kind facility opened in Northwest Arkansas in the summer of 2025 and is rapidly scaling to support high-volume, high-quality product media capture at unprecedented speed and scale. Want to learn more about eko? Visit eko.com

Eko's core technology combines an advanced visual capture infrastructure, cloud-based automated post-production processes, a scalable streaming platform, and proprietary application layers that utilize GPU shader video rendering and animations. Our platform includes modern full-stack development and integrations to the world's e-commerce, catering to the scale and standardization demanded by the world's largest enterprise brand.

Being a DevOps Engineer at Eko means connecting with the business at large, rather than focusing solely on a specific niche. You'll collaborate with various departments, and the infrastructure and delivery pipelines you contribute to will reach millions of end-users.

We value expanding skill sets, discovering new areas of excellence, and pursuing passions over rigid job titles.

CVs and resumes can’t capture the full essence of who you are as a developer. We believe in looking beyond project bullet points and tech stacks to understand the person behind them. We prioritize how you think and solve problems over specific programming languages and their quirks.

Our ideal candidates are curious, creative thinkers, and continuous learners with a passion for technology. If you thrive on learning by doing, love taking on exciting challenges, and enjoy exploring new territories, then Eko is the place for you.
