You need more than technology to keep up with the constantly changing demands of the commerce world. You need smart and honest people who care about your business. With Red Van, you tap into the industry's most passionate people, who strike the perfect balance of technical acumen and transparent trustworthiness. They make our product and services better, so we make you better.
Our people live by our company's values - which define a philosophy that permeates all aspects of our work resulting in better outcomes for our customers.
Our people are passionate about Red Van and what we do. Our employee retention is among the highest in the industry. This means stability and continuity for Red Van, but also more importantly, for our customers.
Unlike other shops that rely on offshore talent, 100% of Red Van employees are onshore in the US, meaning we work on our customer's schedule, so they don't have to wait for the work to get done.
Our team has over 500 years of collective commerce expertise, having worked in technical and business roles at brands. As a result, we have a better understanding of the everyday challenges and opportunities they face.
We don't erect barriers between our people and our customers. Customers get direct access to the Red Van team building their business, with the ability to communicate as needed. We cut out the middle manager and connect customers directly with the people solving their problems.
Red Van puts the customer at the center of what we do. Every employee is incentivized on our customer's success. We believe so strongly in our customer's success that we provide Customer Success, Support and Education services at no charge to our customers.

Why Red Van?
I was reluctant to join a newer small company when I joined Red Van Workshop back in 2015. I was working for a large tax firm as a .NET developer with 0 experience in the Demandware space. I previously worked with a couple of the partners and they convinced me to come join the team, I’ve not looked back since. I’ve learned new skills, met new people (that I now call my friends), and made a new home for my career.

I joined when the company was much smaller. I knew nothing about it then. I have stayed because I am challenged by the work I do and hope to continue to be challenged in the future. The people I work with are great despite not working directly with some for long periods of time.

I chose to come to Red Van in the beginning to work with like minded people that care about doing the best job they can, where doing it the right way and looking out for the client is built into how we do things. I've stayed because of the culture and people that we have built and grown and that it's still as rewarding in year ten as it was it year one.

Honestly I had no idea who or what redvan was back when I joined almost 5 years ago now but I'm glad I found out! What keeps me here is the company's belief in treating everyone with respect and trust, allowing us to excel in our work. The community is great and the overall positivity and spirit of collaboration is amazing. The founders set the tone by treating everyone like family, and this ethos permeates throughout the entire organization, influencing how we interact with one another. The values of respect, patience, and kindness are forefront, making it an uplifting environment. Overall, the culture at Red Van has played a pivotal role in keeping me engaged and invested in the company.

Why Red Van?
After ten years and four different System Integrators, I was seeking more than just a job—I wanted a place where individuals mattered. That's exactly what I found at Red Van. The founding partners’ genuine passion for both their work and their team was evident right from the start. It's this sense of community and respect that keeps me here. Working alongside some of the most talented minds in the industry, we're not just enhancing our work; we're empowering each other. What truly sets Red Van apart is how we're treated: trusted to manage our own time and recognized not as cogs, but as integral parts of a greater whole.

Red Van gives its employees a unique opportunity to flourish in a sea of autonomy and trust. For me, this only motivates me to work harder to make Red Van a extraordinary company inside and out. The community that has formed around the Red Van culture has created a space of camaraderie that simply unparalleled to any other working environment. While we are all remote, we have all come together through our project groups, company groups and social channels to build something that really feels like family.

Why Red Van?
I chose to join Red Van because of the partners. I had worked with them at a prior place of employment and I was impressed with how incredibly smart each of them is and with the quality of their work. They were the guys who knew how to get things done right and quite honestly, I really liked each of them as people. I wanted to work with them again. When I found out they were looking for a QA I jumped at the chance! I stay because I still like them and I like what they have built. They have worked hard to create it and have always chosen to do right by their clients and by their employees.

Joining early, when our team was still small, naturally made everyone collaborative and supportive (including client & vendor teams). As our team has grown, the emphasis on cooperation has become institutional. These relationships help me be a better decision maker, developer, and team member.

Red Van’s total focus on providing excellence in digital commerce. It’s a rapidly changing industry and Red Van has stayed true to the mission of helping brands with the best tools and advice in the industry - the quality of my colleagues and WFH working arrangement were pretty attractive too.

We Give a Shit. I’ve always believed that if you’re going to do something you should do it right. Maybe not the first time, maybe you keep learning and improving over time, sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow, but we truly can build amazing things if we all just give a shit about the outcome.

From the very first interview, Red Van has always prioritized the well-being of their employees over revenue by being willing to walk away from clients, if necessary. Red Van's loyalty to their employees is what sets and why I’ve been with the company for the last eight years.
