About the Senior Engineer role

In this position, you will serve as a technical leader focused on designing, developing, and deploying our Recommerce Warehouse Management System (ReWMS), the critical software infrastructure powering our recommerce operations. You will architect and build ReWMS applications to efficiently handle inventory processing, order fulfillment, and warehouse operations that are essential to giving products multiple lifecycles. As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll balance innovative software development with robust deployment practices, ensuring ReWMS applications can scale to support growing business volume while maintaining code quality and system reliability. Your work will directly impact our ability to deliver high-performance software solutions that process second-hand goods efficiently, a cornerstone of our sustainable retail mission.

 

What You’ll Do

• Architect and evolve our Recommerce Warehouse Management (ReWMS) System to support increasing scale and complexity of warehouse operations
• Design robust integrations between ReWMS and other critical systems (e-commerce platform, 3PLs and ERPs)
• Write and deploy excellent TypeScript code that resonates and works well for our customers as quickly as possible.
• Lead technical decisions regarding ReWMS customizations, extensions, and optimizations to support unique recommerce workflows
• Partner with warehouse operations teams to translate their requirements into technical solutions
• Establish monitoring, observability, and reliability practices for mission-critical ReWMS components

 

Experience You Bring

• Experience with asynchronous processing, queueing systems, and distributed system design
• Ability to balance technical elegance with pragmatic solutions that solve immediate operational needs
• Excellent communication skills to bridge the gap between warehouse operations and engineering teams
• Passion for sustainability and the circular economy, with a drive to build technology that makes recommerce more efficient and scalable

 

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience with specific WMS platforms or logistics software (Manhattan, HighJump, etc.)

• Experience with TypeScript/JavaScript
• Prior experience working at a startup
