Visa: open to transfers (OPT, H1B).
About this role: Software Engineer (Growth Infrastructure / Marketplace) with 2+ years of experience to build the core infrastructure powering expert acquisition, onboarding and matching at scale. Not a traditional growth engineering role: you'll build the platform and tooling that lets the growth team hire, assess, interview, onboard and retain domain experts, owning end-to-end systems from outreach tooling and AI-powered interviewing to automated expert-to-project matching, and eventually ML-driven recommendation systems.
What you will be doing:
  • Build and own the expert marketplace infrastructure: outreach, interviewing (including an AI interviewer), assessments, and onboarding tooling
  • Develop the hiring platform where experts are onboarded, managed, and dispatched to projects based on fit and availability
  • Create automations and internal tools that replace manual growth-team workflows
  • Partner with growth associates to identify bottlenecks, instrument the funnel, and ship high-leverage improvements quickly
  • Eventually build ML-driven recommendation systems that predict expert needs for new projects and automate staffing
  • Tech stack

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
