You will join the Growth squad to build the transaction layer for the world’s first digital supply chain for secondhand fashion. Reporting to the CTO (ex-Google, Postmates), you will integrate fine-tuned AI models into a B2B marketplace handling 500,000+ items monthly, turning manual trades into a structured, searchable global inventory layer.
Senior Backend Software Engineer at Fleek
Join an a16z and YC-backed startup that is fixing the world's most broken supply chain by digitizing the $350B secondhand fashion market. Working directly under a CTO from Google and Postmates, you'll build the AI-native backbone for a platform that has already saved 9 million items from landfills and is tripling in size annually. This is a rare opportunity for a Senior Backend Engineer to own the entire ecommerce journey—from discovery to global payments—while integrating proprietary AI models into a high-scale B2B marketplace. If you thrive in high-ownership, on-site environments in Shoreditch and want to solve genuinely novel technical problems, this Series B leader is the place to be.
