Whatnot is the largest livestream shopping platform in North America and Europe to buy, sell, and discover the things you love. We’re building the future of ecommerce, bringing together community, shopping, and entertainment. We are committed to our values, and as a remote co-located team, we operate out of hubs within the US, UK, Ireland, Poland, and Germany today.

We’re innovating in the fast-paced world of live auctions from fashion, beauty, electronics to collectibles like trading cards, comic books, and even live plants. Whatnot has something for everyone.

And, we’re growing. Whatnot has been one of the fastest growing marketplaces and we’re hiring forward-thinking problem solvers across all functional areas.

Responsibilities

• Maintain an efficient CI / CD pipeline to help developers ship the software faster and safer in a structured environment.
• Build local environment tooling to enable the engineering team to build and test product features swiftly and safely.
• Work with the engineering team to get services deployed across different environments.
• Implement and optimize developer workflow to reduce friction and increase productivity.
• Providing recommendations for architecture and process improvements.

Team members in this role are required to be within commuting distance of our San Francisco, CA, Los Angeles, CA, New York, NY, or Seattle, WA hubs.

• Expert knowledge of various CI / CD workflows.
