Software Engineer: Core Marketplace &… at Tradepost · Chicago
Job Description
Tradepost is building the liquidity infrastructure for the real world. We believe that everything you own should be instantly tradeable. Today you can trade stocks and crypto in seconds, but the things you actually own Pokémon cards, collectibles, watches, sports cars take weeks to sell, ship, and settle. Tradepost is closing that gap one asset class at a time.
We're backed by Andreessen Horowitz, alongside angel investors who are current and former executives at Goldman Sachs, Fidelity Investments, Alt, Ticketmaster, Opendoor, and more. We're a small team that's been in this hobby our whole lives, and we know what it takes to bring these asset classes to the next level.
We're a small scrappy team of hustlers going up against $10B companies to modernize an industry that hasn’t changed much since the dot-com era, and we’re looking for an engineer to join us as we scale our Core Marketplace & Exchange business toward $100M/month and beyond. You’ll be an integral part of shaping how everyone in the world trades and invests in Cultural Assets with the opportunity (and expectation) to make a massive impact on one of the fastest-growing products in the space.
Your Role
Own Core Product & Exchange UI/UX: Take ownership of products and features across our core Marketplace and Exchange as we continue to ship, scale, and maintain the products already driving real volume.
Live Trading: Build the real-time mobile trading interface that powers the first instantly settled spot markets in cultural assets
Marketplace: Build the core buying and selling flows including order, bid, and ask creation, discovery, deposits, social, and more
Terminal: Build the most advanced professional trading tool in all of Cultural Assets used by market-makers and businesses to manage inventory and liquidity at scale
Growth: Optimize our current revenue-generating flows and continuously improve conversion and trust with our users
Launch New Products: Help build and launch net-new businesses, never-before-tried products, and lines of business that will change the future of Cultural Assets forever.
Understand Our Users: Our team grew up reselling and trading the asset classes we serve, and we want you to think like our users and put yourself in their shoes.
Make Magic: Our team takes pride in our ability to do a lot with a little by working harder and smarter than our competition. We expect you to do the same.
What You’ll Work On
Marketplace: Our first and flagship product where sellers can sell instantly and ship their assets to verified market makers
Live Trading: Trade on verified and secured Cultural Assets instantly without ever touching the products
Tradepost Terminal: Our Trading Terminal for professional market makers and businesses providing liquidity on Tradepost
What We Look For
Speed: You move fast once you know exactly what it is you want
Extreme Agency: You know what works and you’re not afraid to speak up when you think you’re right
You're a Hustler: We admire people who are always finding a new angle to make money, not just doing what's in front of them.
You Bet on Yourself: You've taken real risk on something you believed in and built something, walked away from something safe, or backed something nobody else would.
You Have Great Business Sense: You not only can understand the “what” and “how” to build something but also the “why” and why it’s important for our mission.
You’ve worked on something with high stakes: You’ve worked on production systems that require you to be extremely diligent and thoughtful but aren’t afraid to move fast anyway.
