Software Engineer, Early Career at whatnot

This role is tailored for high-achieving students graduating in late 2025 or early 2026. While the seniority is listed as mid-level, the description specifically targets new grads with previous internship or industry experience. They are looking for "product-minded" engineers who prioritize user experience over technical complexity and are comfortable shipping code quickly in an autonomous, fast-paced environment. The compensation is highly competitive for an early-career role, offering a base salary of $140,000 - $150,000. You’ll benefit from a robust perks package, including a 4% 401k match, home office stipends, and a unique "dogfooding" budget to buy and sell on the platform. The work arrangement is hybrid, requiring you to live within commuting distance of their hubs in San Francisco, Los Angeles, or Seattle. **You might be a good fit if you:** * are graduating with a CS degree in Dec 2025 or Summer 2026 and have prior internship experience. * prefer "shipping fast" over long, drawn-out development cycles. * enjoy owning projects from start to finish rather than just finishing assigned tickets. * want to work on a high-scale marketplace used by millions.
