We help millions of people create homes they love
In the beginning, in 2016, we were just two best friends working on a simple idea: how to make it super easy to turn your favorite smartphone photos into awesome wall art.
Today, we have multiple product lines with millions of customers, including Mixtiles, Mixtiles Art, Easyplant, and Around. And we're shipping new products every year.
We love what we do, and we love people who love what they do. If you're that kind of person, read on.

What You’re Applying For
We’re a $230M company that builds and sales over 13M products a year, and that still builds like a startup: fast, lean, and full of heart. As we scale even further, we need world-class operations to keep the experience seamless and exceptional.
We’re looking for an Operations Engineer to drive operational excellence across our global manufacturing footprint.
This isn’t just about reducing defects or improving output. It’s about building the systems that power products people love—and doing it with precision, creativity, and collaboration.
You’ll partner with manufacturers across the US, EU, and Asia to streamline production, solve root problems, and elevate quality across the board. You’ll be on the ground, at the line, and in the room—turning ideas into better, faster, smoother realities.
Why This Role? Why Now?
- We’re growing fast—and scaling production to match
- We work across multiple geographies, factories, and product lines
- Quality isn’t a department—it’s a promise we make to every customer
- This role is global, hands-on, and deeply cross-functional
- You’ll have the freedom to make change happen—and the support to do it right
In This Role, You Will
- Own the manufacturing flow across global partners, from onboarding to optimization
- Visit facilities regularly to identify bottlenecks, improve processes, and unlock new throughput
- Identify quality trends and issues, and lead quality investigations—from signal to root cause to resolution
- Build trusted relationships with factory teams, acting as a partner and performance accelerator
- Work closely with Engineering, Product, and Supply Chain to improve cost, speed, and customer experience
- Turn complex data into clear action plans—and track impact over time
- Identify opportunities for automation and efficiency at scale
What We’re Looking For
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent hands-on experience
- Proven track record improving manufacturing processes and product quality
- Comfort on the factory floor—you learn by observing, asking, and testing
- Sharp analytical mindset—you trust your gut, but validate with data
- Experience with automation and robotics is a strong plus
- Excellent communicator and collaborator, especially across time zones and cultures
- Willingness to travel up to 30% (mainly to the US and EU)
What Success Looks Like
- Fewer quality issues. Faster throughput. Lower costs.
- Manufacturing partners treat you as a go-to problem solver.
- Cross-functional teams see you as an operations expert they want to work with.
- You’re constantly iterating, improving, and helping Mixtiles scale smarter—not just bigger.
