The role

Youll be a core member of an established squad helping shape how we test as the platform grows.

The platform

This is a genuinely large-scale marketplace. Very few platforms handle a product catalogue or transaction volume at this level.

The roadmap includes agentic AI workflows built into the platform retail media integrated directly into the marketplace and infrastructure work targeting cost and performance at high volume.
