Location: San Francisco (FiDi) - on-site Monday-Friday plus half-day or remote Sunday. 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

TypeScript/JavaScript, Next.js, React, Node.js, Python, Kubernetes, Kafka, Redis, Elasticsearch, AWS, GCP
