At most companies, you are handed a Jira ticket and told exactly what to build.

Here, you are handed a business problem: "Our bidders are having trouble finding niche electronics in our chaotic inventory—fix it."

You will have the autonomy to design the search logic, test the algorithms, and ship the product experience that solves that problem.

If you love building systems that directly drive user addiction and marketplace revenue, let's talk.
