About this role

Software Engineer (Growth Infrastructure / Marketplace) with 2+ years of experience to build the core infrastructure powering expert acquisition, onboarding and matching at scale. Not a traditional growth engineering role: you'll build the platform and tooling that lets the growth team hire, assess, interview, onboard and retain domain experts, owning end-to-end systems from outreach tooling and AI-powered interviewing to automated expert-to-project matching, and eventually ML-driven recommendation systems.

What you will be doing

Build and own the expert marketplace infrastructure: outreach, interviewing (including an AI interviewer), assessments, and onboarding tooling

Develop the hiring platform where experts are onboarded, managed, and dispatched to projects based on fit and availability

Create automations and internal tools that replace manual growth-team workflows

Partner with growth associates to identify bottlenecks, instrument the funnel, and ship high-leverage improvements quickly

Eventually build ML-driven recommendation systems that predict expert needs for new projects and automate staffing

Tech stack

TypeScript/JavaScript, Next.js, React, Node.js, Python, Kubernetes, Kafka, Redis, Elasticsearch, AWS, GCP
