Senior Backend Software Engineer at $50M Series B AI-native marketplace

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.

Overview

Role overview

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.

Responsibilities

What you will do

  • Architect and scale backend systems in Node.js and TypeScript to handle the transition from 500k to millions of unique items per month.

  • Collaborate with AI and data teams to bridge the gap between classification engines and the core marketplace product experience.

Candidate profile

Who this is a fit for

  • 6–10 years of professional backend experience with strong fundamentals in system design and API architecture at high-growth consumer or marketplace companies.
  • Proven product engineering mindset with a history of shipping end-to-end features in fast-paced, ambiguous startup environments.
  • AI-forward builder who uses tools like Cursor or Copilot as a force multiplier and has experience deploying AI capabilities at scale.

What makes it remarkable

Why this role is remarkable

  • Massive financial backing with ~$50M raised from elite investors including a16z, Y Combinator, and HV Capital, plus advisors from Depop and Shopify.
  • High-velocity environment where you will see immediate impact, helping save millions of garments from landfills while the company triples in size year-on-year.
