Desirable

• As a Software Engineer on the Product Catalog team, you’ll help shape this vision by building and maintaining internal tools for ingesting, processing, and displaying products
• Our catalog pulls from diverse sources, but today, growing it requires significant manual effort. Your work will make these processes scalable, empowering our team with better tools and automation to scale efficiently
• As a member of the Product Catalog team, you will work with a tech stack that includes Golang, Ruby on Rails, DynamoDB, and gRPC
• You’ll extend and refine existing services while also designing and building new ones to support our evolving needs
• Immediate contributions will likely involve search functionality, client APIs, and generally optimizing how products are fed through our system
• Given our team’s small size, you will also have the opportunity to do some full-stack development in Node and React
• Collaboration is key—you’ll work closely with other backend engineers to solve complex problems and integrate with teams that rely on the Catalog, ensuring they have the data and tools they need
• Along the way, you’ll learn from and contribute to a team of excellent GOAT engineers who are passionate about building scalable and intelligent systems
