Software Engineer, Notifications Platform at whatnot

This role is ideal for a mid-level Software Engineer with 3–5 years of experience who enjoys the intersection of infrastructure and product. Since you’ll be joining the Notifications Platform team, you should have a strong background in architecting large-scale distributed systems and a passion for improving developer experience. This is a "product platform" role, meaning you’ll build the internal tools and services that power how the company communicates with millions of users. The compensation is highly competitive ($170k – $230k) and comes with a robust benefits package, including a 4% 401k match and unique perks like a "dogfooding" budget to shop on the app. While the company operates a remote co-located model, you must live within commuting distance of their hubs in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, or Seattle for in-person collaboration. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have a track record of building and scaling high-throughput backend services. * Enjoy mentoring junior engineers and leading projects independently. * Move fast, maintain high design standards, and have a "low ego" approach to problem-solving. * Want to work at a high-growth startup at the intersection of social media and e-commerce.
