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
