About the team

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Appmericans squad.

Back Market is building their first engineering team in NYC!

We are looking for passionate team members to join our office of 40+ people in Union Square, and a 250+ engineering team worldwide. This team's mission is to help us spread the word about refurbished tech to save the planet and your wallet at the same time.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep backend expertise to play a key role in our strategic US market expansion.

Our goal is to enhance user engagement by accelerating the development of innovative features and optimizing the overall customer experience across web and app platforms.

As one of the engineers in our first US-based engineering team, you will work with Software Engineers, two iOS engineers and an iOS tech lead/manager, collaborating closely on full-stack solutions that power our US customer experience. While your primary focus will be backend services and architecture, you'll also contribute to web frontend development when needed to deliver complete, end-to-end features.

Your expertise in scalable, performant backend platforms built with Go and Python, combined with your ability to contribute to modern web frontends, will be key to the team's success. You will work closely with a product manager and UX designer to ensure the right features are designed and delivered with quality and velocity. You will participate in the Back Market backend community, partnering with others to continuously improve our practices.

We’re looking for versatile engineers who show strong ownership and are motivated to take on new challenges across the technical stack while helping us move our technology forward.
