Tradesy is hiring developers and designers for web and mobile, full-time and interns, in Santa Monica or remote.
We're building a peer to peer online marketplace that facilitates sticking points in the transaction that prevent people from buying and selling online, from suggesting pricing, to providing shipping kits and handling returns on behalf of sellers, to ranking items in the storefront.
Since launching in October we've gotten a lot of great press:
<a href="http://tradesy.com/press" >http://tradesy.com/press</a>
and more importantly, we've gained significant traction right out of the gate, as well as an overwhelmingly positive response from our customers.
We're a small team, you'll be the fourth engineer, and while we develop on a LAMP stack with Redis and Solr on top, we value strong engineering talent with a background in Java and/or C++. PHP experience is a perk but not required.
For mobile, we're working on iOS first since 75% of our mobile traffic is iOS based, but if you develop for Android we'd still love to talk to you.
Marketplaces pose a lot of interesting technical challenges like working with large and rapidly growing sets of user submitted items, processing large volume transactions, working with image processing and manipulation, developing algorithmic solutions for curation, spam, and fraud, and automating chunks of the logistical backend that runs behind the scenes.
As a company we value transparency, sustainability, and customer service. We're relentlessly focused on developing a product people love, and to that end we focus on quantitatively measuring impact of the changes we make to the product, as well as getting constant feedback from our customers.
