We're hiring a Software Engineer to work on our marketplace, the core of how Paraform connects companies with recruiters and candidates. You'll work closely with our marketplace product lead, shipping features that directly impact hiring manager experience, recruiter activation, and hiring outcomes.
Our marketplace is what makes Paraform work. You'll be building the systems and experiences that drive both sides of it:
User behavior and engagement: Understand user psychology and use it to shape how recruiters and hiring managers interact with the platform
Recruiter supply growth: Build the systems that bring new recruiters onto the platform, ramp them up quickly, and keep the quality bar high
Recruiter performance and incentives: Payments, incentive systems, and performance tooling that help recruiters do their best work on the platform
Role distribution: Ensure every open role on the platform gets the attention it deserves by balancing recruiter activity across the marketplace
Automation: Identify and automate manual processes that slow down recruiters, hiring managers, and internal operations
1 - 5 years of experience shipping high quality code in fast-paced environment
Ships fast: You can take a well-defined problem and deliver a clean solution quickly

Biased toward action: You'd rather be shipping than debating what to build. You have opinions and want to be involved, but what drives you is seeing your work go live and perform
You'll have design and product support, clear priorities, and a team that ships constantly. Your work will directly shape how thousands of recruiters operate and how companies make their most important hires. If you want to build at a company where engineers punch well above their weight and the product actually matters, this is the job.
Paraform is a marketplace modernizing one of the largest and most fragmented markets in the world: hiring. We partner with industry leaders like Cursor, Palantir, Windsurf, Decagon, Shopify, Coinbase, and Hightouch to hire world-class talent, and are growing quickly - 8×-ing revenue last year.
