Role

Who you are

You are a person who craves impact
You want to leave a (big) dent on the world
You are generally disappointed in the bar held by most people everyday
You feel smarter than everyone around you, yet that doesn’t make you happy – it makes you sad that you aren’t being pushed to think hard enough
You drive towards simplicity and expect others to do the same

What the job involves

The customer you are building for should be thought of as other client-side developers on our team consuming our API
Build beautiful, fast, polished APIs across the Whop backend
Create primitive APIs that are used by internal and external developers
Create patterns, prompts, and internal tools to create leverage for other developers on the team
Work closely with founders and designers to turn vision into clean architected systems
Prototype quickly, ship fast, and care about the details
Write clean queries, intuitive function names, and easy to understand responses
Delete shit that is outdated and no longer used
Come up with reusable architecture patterns that can make us move faster later
This role is a Staff Software Engineer who will report to the CTO

Our take

Navigating disparate marketplaces and leveraging guerrilla-style selling tactics on social media platforms such as Facebook can pose challenges for those aiming to sell communities and digital products. Whop steps in as a marketplace website and platform designed to streamline this process, aiding influencers, communities, and software sellers in reaching millions of eager customers seeking connection, education, and product acquisition.

Focusing on digital economies like online gambling, crypto trading, and gaming, Whop offers a marketplace for buyers with diverse subscription levels to access Discord, chatrooms, and apps. These avenues not only offer income opportunities for buyers but also serve as fertile ground for entrepreneurs seeking to tap into a vast customer base numbering in the millions.

While Whop's niche may not appeal to everyone in the manner of mainstream eCommerce platforms like Etsy, its robust customer base signals a growing trend of entrepreneurs seeking to monetize their online presence. The platform's social features mirror the culture and camaraderie prevalent in blockchain and crypto trading communities, indicating a sustained relevance and growing trajectory - backed by significant funding - in the foreseeable future.
