Product Engineer — Come work on the challenging & the impactful at AirRobe
We are looking for two product engineer roles to help us transform re-commerce:
1. Front-end focused Product Engineer
2. Full-stack Product Engineer
These are both full-time roles and include equity in AirRobe as part of the package.
AirRobe
We’re growing here at AirRobe — fast. We’re reinventing “re-commerce” for a sustainable future.
Our plan: To re-build the rails for re-commerce and take over the likes of eBay as the number one second-hand marketplace.
Used fashion is a $41b market today, expected to be $76b by 2023. We are cracking this industry with an innovation that removes the biggest friction in trading used goods: the manual listing process. We partner with fashion retailers to let consumers re-sell, rent or recycle used fashion in 1 click. Our approach is a disruptor for second-hand marketplaces. And a complete game changer for how people trade things. The kicker? All this culminates in preventing fashion textiles from ending up in landfill.
There are some huge technical challenges facing the re-commerce space. AirRobe is uniquely positioned to solve them given the structured data we capture from retailers with our solution. Our engineering team will apply predictive analytics and machine learning to solve the biggest problems in peer-to-peer trading sites of today (eBay, Facebook Marketplace) and create a powerful consumer browsing feed.
We have a massive journey ahead of us to take over the likes of eBay as the number one re-commerce marketplace. We are building an all-star founding engineering team to build scalable solutions that our customers love.
The role
We are looking for our next founding team-member to join our top-class engineering team. You’ll join our VP of Engineering (ex Director of Engineering at Red Bubble) and two Lead Engineers (ex-Zendesk, Redbubble, VinoMofo and Marketplacer) in shaping a strong engineering culture that you can be proud of.
You will be responsible for the development and operation of AirRobe’s new platform.
Why join the AirRobe Engineering Team?
We believe a small group of passionate engineers working together can achieve great things. You will have a high-degree of autonomy to investigate, spike, design and implement solutions. You will be able to teach us and learn from us: we give feedback to each other to improve our craft. We are still young and have a lot of foundational work ahead of us so there are plenty of opportunities for you to design/architecture something new. We are responsible with our technology choices but are not afraid to pick the right tool over the familiar one. We move fast and we make mistakes but we structure our system for support and safety.
Position Overview

Ideally, you’ll be a hands-on product-obsessed engineer with experience in a fast-growing start-up, and a strong interest in eCommerce, marketplace platforms, B2B2C and/or fashion.
But most of all, you’ll need tohave a strong desire to create something of value for the world and have the tenacity to make it happen.
The successful candidate
