Society6 (Leaf Group) | Senior Frontend Engineer, Senior Backend Engineer | Santa Monica, CA | Full-time | Onsite | <a href="
Society6 is a marketplace where artists can sell their artwork, printed onto a variety of different product types (wall art, furniture, throw pillows, iPhone cases, etc). All orders are printed on demand from our network of vendors located in US, Europe, and Australia, and drop shipped to the buyer.
In 2018, as part of the Leaf Group marketplaces division, over 1.4M transactions were placed and over $116M in revenue. A major portion of that was generated by Society6. We have over 6M pieces of artwork from over 350K artists. Many of our artists make a living just from royalties earned from selling on Society6. Our website primarily focuses on consumers, but we also have a wholesale business that grew 27% YoY last quarter.
Some exciting projects to work on include vast improvements to search and discovery for artwork, artist studio and sales dashboard, merchandising tools, CRM for wholesale, improvements to our vendor integrations, performance improvements, and much more.
I have joined the organization recently as VP of Engineering, and what I have found is a platform that has served Society6 well, facilitating impressive growth, but needs a great deal of refactoring.
I'm looking for backend engineers with senior level or greater experience that work on existing legacy code, and strategize with a team of other experienced engineers to maintain, refactor or wholly replace existing code.
