    Description

    Whatnot

    Whatnot is a livestream shopping platform and marketplace backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, and CapitalG. We're building the future of ecommerce, bringing together community, shopping and entertainment. We are committed to our values, and as a remote-first team, we operate out of hubs within the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, and Germany today.

    We're innovating in the fast-paced world of live auctions in categories including sports, fashion, video games, and streetwear. The platform couples rigorous seller vetting with a focus on community to create a welcoming space for buyers and sellers to share their passions with others.

    And, we're growing. Whatnot has been the fastest growing marketplace in the US over the past two years and we're hiring forward-thinking problem solvers across all functional areas.

    Role

    Search engineers at Whatnot are responsible for building the best search experience for users to find the most relevant content on the platform: streams, products, and others in the community. To achieve our goals, we are passionate about understanding, building and maintaining a healthy ecosystem, where buyers find engaging content and sellers thrive with their business. We focus on a wide variety of problems: taxonomy, search and filters, retrieval and ranking algorithms, as well as content understanding. We make data informed decisions and ship quickly to benefit our users. The software team has a lot of individual responsibility and many more freedoms, so we need to hire people we can trust. Your ability to make good trade-offs and exercise good judgment is essential to us.

    At this time, we are hiring Backend and Machine Learning Engineers for the Search team.
