Software Engineer, Inventory Experience at whatnot

This role is for a backend-heavy engineer with at least three years of experience building production-grade services, particularly for marketplaces or e-commerce. You should have a strong grasp of relational databases and be comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where you own projects from the initial idea through deployment. **What makes it worth a look...** The compensation is high for a mid-level role, and Whatnot is currently one of the fastest-growing marketplaces globally. You get the stability of a successful startup alongside the technical challenge of building high-scale inventory systems with modern tools like Elixir and Python. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Live within commuting distance of the New York hub. * Have experience with PostgreSQL and designing transactional data models. * Enjoy moving fast and shipping features without waiting for highly detailed specs. * Are interested in working with Elixir, Python, or event-driven architectures like Kafka.
