StaffSoftwareDevelopmentEngineer

About the role: The OfferUp Business team owns the platforms that power every business vertical on our marketplace; Storefronts, Auto Dealers, Services, Rentals, and Jobs. Our customers aren't casually browsing; they're running businesses on top of what we build, so every feature we ship has a direct, measurable impact on their livelihood and on OfferUp's revenue. We operate the full stack end-to-end: including microservices that handle some of the highest RPS and TPS in the company, and integrations with partners like Stripe and Shopify. We move fast, instrument everything, and treat experimentation as a first-class part of the workflow. We've barely scratched the surface of what these verticals can become, and the roadmap is wide open for someone who wants to shape it. At many organizations, your role begins and ends with the code. On our team, we’re different. You own a feature from concept to fruition. Your responsibilities will include everything from writing well architected and thoroughly tested code, to rolling out the feature by analyzing metrics. You also get to take ownership beyond your technical area by working with cross-functional team members. As a Staff Software Engineer on the Business team, you'll be both a hands-on builder and a technical leader. You'll set the technical direction for the team, ship high-impact features with strong operational rigor, raise the bar on engineering quality across the org, and find creative ways to unlock new business surfaces. Here’s more of what you will get to do: Define the multi-quarter technical roadmap for the Business team and align it with company priorities Design and operate high-throughput microservices where reliability, latency, and observability are non-negotiable Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to design and implement new features across all five business verticals Communicate complex technical designs to both technical and non technical stakeholders Collaborate with engineering teams
