Second-hand fashion is projected to reach $350bn by 2027.
The hard part isn’t demand - it’s infrastructure.
I’m hiring a Backend Product Engineer for a high-growth consumer business building the infrastructure behind the circular economy for second-hand fashion.
Think sustainability.
Think greenfield projects.
This is not a ticket factory.
What you’ll be working on:
* Rebuilding a core marketplace from first principles
* Turning messy, offline supply chains into scalable systems
* Backend systems tightly coupled to product and commercial outcomes
* Real consumer scale, growth, and experimentation
* Owning decisions end to end — design → build → ship
Tech-wise:
* AWS, TypeScript & Node
* Open to Python, Go, Java, etc.
* Strong fundamentals > language loyalty
This will suit you if you like:
* Ambiguity and ownership
* Product-led engineering
* Systems that directly affect users, supply, and revenue
