Company: Materials Market

Materials Market is a managed marketplace for bulky construction materials. We’re fixing a fragmented, opaque market where pricing is political and access is unequal — building a fair, transparent system where customers and suppliers trade on equal terms.
We turn a network of merchants and distributors into one simple way to buy heavy, first-fix materials. Customers — from DIYers to tradespeople — get competitive, market-informed prices and reliable delivery through a single platform. Suppliers keep control, choosing the orders that suit their branches, fleets and margins.
We’re backed by Fuel Ventures and Active Partners, alongside a strong group of angel investors. Our board includes James Mackenzie (former Managing Director of Travis Perkins) and Thomas Studd (former Partner at Vitruvian Partners).
We’re hiring a Ruby on Rails Developer to join a small, high-performing team and ship product changes end-to-end. You’ll work in a Rails codebase, building features across backend and frontend as needed, partnering closely with non-technical teams, and owning delivery, quality, and outcomes.
We run lean, with minimal ceremony and a meeting-light culture (no daily stand-ups). You’ll have autonomy, direct access to leadership, and real ownership of what ships.
