Job Details

 Whatnot

Whatnot is the largest livestream shopping platform in North America and Europe to buy, sell, and discover the things you love. We’re building the future of ecommerce, bringing together community, shopping and entertainment. We are committed to our values, and as a remote co-located team, we operate out of hubs within the US, UK, Ireland, Poland, and Germany today.

We’re innovating in the fast-paced world of live auctions from fashion, beauty, electronics to collectibles like trading cards, comic books, and even live plants. Whatnot has something for everyone.

And, we’re growing. Whatnot has been one of the fastest growing marketplaces and we’re hiring forward-thinking problem solvers across all functional areas.

📈 Opportunity Size

The ecommerce experience has been static for 20+ years and is perhaps the largest opportunity in the startup space today. Livestream shopping is a $170B GMV market in China and has grown 100% YoY. Retail is a $5T market opportunity!

💻 Role

The Platform Engineering team is responsible for building backend platforms on Whatnot. As the Engineering Manager of the Platform Engineering team, you’ll focus on developing, maintaining, and setting the vision for a scalable platform that serves and enables Whatnot engineers to develop product features at lightning speed while ensuring customers have a stable and secure experience.

  • collaborate with product engineering and infrastructure engineering counterparts to set strategic direction of the team, advocating for technical platform solutions that help us grow Whatnot as a whole.

👋 You

In addition to embodying our cultural principles, great candidates will also:

  • hands-on experience with public cloud environments (AWS, GCP) using Kubernetes, Docker, and IaC tools like Terraform.

  • technical leader with hands-on experience in large distributed systems.
  • experience leading a team of engineers, guiding them through both their career development, and executing in a high growth environment.
  • have low ego, an appetite to build, and employ good judgment in making hard trade-offs with limited resources.
  • effectively recruit, mentor, retain, and measure high performing teams.
  • can effectively manage stakeholders, competing priorities and deal with ambiguity
  • have substantial hands-on experience of doing the job you’ll be managing.
  • a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent work experience.
