Why should you work at Marketplace? What job openings do you have?

We are looking for great people to join our engineering team to make real products that hundreds of thousands of people use every month. Our engineering blog has more details about the work we do.

Interesting problems we've tackled at Marketplace

Powerful event tracking, reporting, and experiment framework

We track and test everything, and needed a tool to log, aggregate, and analyze all that data. We built a tracking powerhouse whose crowning feature is an experimentation framework with beautiful statistics and visualizations that instantly tell us how code changes are affecting metrics across the board.

Dynamic web crawling

We built a fast, distributed crawler with custom data processing. It quickly scales up or down depending on our needs and the cost of machine time.

Elegant peer-to-peer payments

We're making a true marketplace where buyers and sellers transact through our trusted payments. Building a fresh, engaging user experience is as important as protecting data security and integrity.

Bonus Points

• Experience with a scripting language, and the ability to pick up similar languages quickly (we use Python and PHP)
• Battle-tested knowledge of Javascript, CSS, and modern web browsers
• An understanding of relational and NoSQL databases (we use Postgres and Mongo)
• Mobile web or application experience

Want to make your mark as a UI designer? This is your spot. We feel like we have yet to hit v1 of our product. If you think our website is already beautiful, we don't want you. We want someone who sees a thousand flaws and can imagine how much better our design and user experience can be.

You'll work directly with product engineers and our business team to conceptualize, design, and prototype new products and features.

• Knowledge of PHP, Python, or other scripting languages
