About the Team
GOAT Group represents the leading platforms for authentic sneakers, apparel and accessories.Operating four distinct brands–GOAT, Flight Club, Grailed and alias–GOAT Group has a global community of more than 60M members across 170 countries. As an engineer at GOAT Group, the work you do will change the way the world shops and the way we operate as a company.
As a Backend Engineer at GOAT Group, you’ll own and build the platform that backs GOATs global marketplace. This platform connects over 60M buyers and sellers, along with dozens of warehouses and retail stores, across a variety of clients (web properties, mobile apps, API partners, internal services, etc.) and brands (GOAT, Flight Club, Grailed, alias). The problems you’ll solve will range from how to launch high-scale sneaker and apparel drops, to how to equip our sellers with live and meaningful market data, to how to optimize fulfillment within our expansive international network.
In this role, you will:
As a member of the Pricing Team, you’ll play a critical role in this platform, ensuring that buyers and sellers always see the best and latest prices for all products on the marketplace. First and foremost, this means building and maintaining GOAT’s dynamic pricing algorithm, which uses product prices, inventory locations, fulfillment costs, and trade and tax regulations to compute a regional low price for every product. It also means building tooling to configure and test this algorithm, as well as owning the underlying pipeline that updates these prices in real-time and keeps them consistent across the platform (from checkout to product pages to search, etc.). And since Pricing plays at least some role in the display of almost “everything with a dollar sign”, you’ll contribute heavily to shared features like checkout, offer settlement, tax remittance, accounting, and more.
Specifically, we’re looking for a high Senior or Staff level engineer to help mature the Pricing platform and keep it stable, scalable, and easy to understand as new features and complexity get added. To do this well, you’ll need to acclimate quickly to a large existing codebase, build informed opinions supported by observation and evidence, communicate clearly in spite of complexity, and manage risk while still being proactive and outcome - oriented. And as an expert and potential technical lead on the team, you’ll have significant opportunities for leadership and growth, and to make a lasting impact at GOAT.
