Plopii Is Hiring: 9 Open Roles at Brooklyn's AI Phone Grip Startup

We started Plopii in Brooklyn with a simple idea: make phone accessories smarter, more beautiful, and powered by AI. What began as a phone grip company has grown into a full AI-powered commerce platform — with 158 products, a multi-model AI assistant, a digital shop, a wallpaper generator, and a subscription ecosystem trusted by customers across the country. Now, we're growing the team — and we want talented, ambitious people who want to build something real. We have 9 open positions right now. Here's what we're looking for and why you should join us. --Why Plopii? We're not your typical startup. We're a Brooklyn-based brand that sits at the intersection of physical product design, AI technology, and digital commerce. We sell phone grips and mounts, yes — but we're also building one of the most technically sophisticated e-commerce platforms in the consumer accessories space. Real AI integration: Our platform uses OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and OpenRouter models. We build real AI features — not chatbot wrappers. Product you can hold: Unlike pure SaaS companies, we make physical products. Our double-sided suction mounts and phone grips are shipping to real customers every day. Brooklyn DNA: We're rooted in New York City hustle and creativity. We move fast, ship often, and take design seriously. Early-stage upside: Join us now and have real ownership over the product, the code, and the company direction. --Open Positions 1.
