About the Marketplace Team

Our team owns the backbone of StockX: the global marketplace. Every bid or ask runs through our system, and we provide something no one else in the industry does - a local view to a global marketplace. Our systems run at scale, like 60,000 hits/second scale, and we deal with unique problems that smaller-scale systems never hit. We work with some of the latest technologies, and are currently defining the next generation architecture for our platform. We tackle some of the most difficult challenges you will see as an engineer, and we do it together.

What you’ll do:

• Collaborate with a team of low-ego, top-level engineers, to build the next-generation scalable, high-throughput platform for the rocketship that is StockX
• Own our solutions start to finish. You will be working on an engineer-driven team: we define our solutions, we break projects down into bite-sized chunks, we set milestones for ourselves, we document our services for our needs, we build our systems to our designs, we make sure they are tested, we make metrics that give us the insight we need, and yep we support our production operations
• Research and implement cutting edge technology that can be applied to handle massive scale
• Contribute to a healthy, collaborative culture where we continuously learn, continuously adapt, and improve together. You’ll bring your experience and lessons from past jobs - and get a chance to help define how our team operates
