About OpenAisle

AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity now search, compare and even buy products for shoppers. Many independent online stores are invisible to them: AI bots blocked by firewalls, prices hidden behind JavaScript, broken product data, or checkouts that stop automated agents.

OpenAisle (getopenaisle.com) audits and fixes WooCommerce stores so AI shoppers can find, understand and buy from them. We’re a UK company — based in Poland, working with US and European stores and the agencies that build them. We have an in-house 8-point audit framework, and we’re growing our technical team as client work grows.

What you’ll do

• Run audits of WooCommerce stores using our framework: AI bot access and robots.txt, Cloudflare and firewall rules, JavaScript rendering, schema.org product markup, price and stock accuracy, Google Merchant Center feeds, and checkout friction
• Record findings with evidence in our audit template, and write clear explanations for non-technical store owners
• Fix what the audits find: theme and plugin changes, structured data, feeds, Cloudflare settings and checkout improvements, always on staging first
• Help shape the framework, and later help automate it into our own testing tools
• Join calls with partner agencies and clients as our technical expert, explaining findings and answering technical questions
• Handle client store access securely and confidentially

What we need

• 3+ years working on live WooCommerce stores, including PHP and theme or plugin changes
• Good written and spoken English: you’ll write reports and join client calls
• Your own computer and a reliable internet connection
• Solid technical SEO: JSON-LD structured data, robots.txt, crawling and indexing
• Comfortable with Chrome DevTools, response headers and basic command line (curl)
• Experience with Google Merchant Center feeds and fixing disapproved products
• Good written English: you’ll write findings that go to clients
• Careful, methodical work: staging, backups, evidence for every finding

Nice to have

• Cloudflare WAF and bot settings
• Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay on WooCommerce
• Python or JavaScript for automation
• Experience with AI agents (ChatGPT agent mode, Perplexity) or interest in agentic commerce (ACP, UCP, MCP)
• Experience with Shopify stores

How you’re paid

• Contract (FOP), paid monthly in USD
• Fixed fee per audit ($70-$100), an hourly rate for set-up work ($14−22/hour, based on experience)
• About 10−20 hours a week to start, growing with client volume
• Flexible hours, with some overlap with CET for a weekly call

Why join

• A new, fast-moving field where you’ll quickly become one of the few real specialists
• Real influence on our methods and tools from day one
• A larger role as we grow, including building our automated audit tools
• A clear path to Technical Lead as we grow, including leading the build of our automated audit tools, with the possibility of a stake in the business for the right person
