W-2 Employee About Lapew Lapew is a fast-growing fragrance and cleaning brand and one of Amazon's Top 10 Best-Selling Scented Carpet Deodorizers in the U.S. We make scented cleaning products that people genuinely love—mop soaps, carpet deodorizers, room sprays, and diffuser oils—and ship them nationwide from right here in Meridian, Idaho. We're a small, tight-knit team and everyone here knows each other, looks out for each other, and takes pride in what we're building. We're not a giant corporation—we're a startup that's growing because we work hard and care about what we do. If you want to be part of something real and meaningful, keep reading. The Role We're looking for a Production & Fulfillment Associate to join our crew as we head into our busiest season. You'll work alongside our current team member, who will train you on our processes and oversee day-to-day production. The owners are hands-on and involved—you'll have direct access to us and a say in how things get done. This isn't just "warehouse work." You'll be mixing products, building orders, solving problems, and helping a real brand grow. We need someone who thinks on their feet, takes ownership of their work, and genuinely cares about doing things right. What You'll Do Mix, measure, bottle, and label scented cleaning products by carefully following written formulas and processes Pack and prepare daily orders for Amazon FBA and direct shipments Box, stack, and move inventory throughout the workspace (lifting up to 50 lbs over your shoulders, repeatedly, throughout the shift) Keep workstations clean, organized, and fully stocked for production Follow quality control standards and flag anything that doesn't look or feel right Communicate clearly with your team about progress, problems, and ideas Requirements (Please Read Carefully) This is physically active, detail-driven work. To do it safely and well, you must have all of the following: High School Diploma or GED Ability to read and follow written instructions in English — you'll be reading product formulas, labels, and safety instructions every day, and accuracy matters for both quality and safety Ability to perform basic math calculations — measuring, counting, and working with quantities and ratios is a core part of the job Ability to lift 50 lbs over your shoulders, regularly and repeatedly throughout an 8-hour shift Ability to stand and stay in motion for extended periods while keeping pace with fast, repetitive tasks Comfortable working around strong fragrances the entire shift — our workspace involves strong scents all day; if you're sensitive to fragrances, this won't be a good fit Reliable transportation to Meridian, ID every workday 18 years of age or older Employment is contingent on passing a background check — because our team currently works out of a home-based production space, this is a requirement for everyone we bring on Who We're Looking For The right person for this role isn't just physically capable—they're mentally sharp, dependable, and motivated by more than a paycheck. Here's what matters to us: Reliable above all else. When you say you'll be here, you're here. On time. Every day. In a small team, one absence affects everyone. Detail-oriented and quality-driven. You take pride in doing things right the first time. Sloppy work isn't in your vocabulary. A problem-solver, not a problem-creator. You notice what needs to be done and do it. You bring solutions, not drama. Eager to learn and grow. You don't need prior production experience, but you do need to be coachable, curious, and willing to get better every day.
