Your Role
As a member of the Inventory team, your mission will be to assist sellers in effectively managing their merchandise on Whatnot, ensuring accurate representation to maximize buyer reach. Our objective is to streamline this process, allowing sellers to focus on what they excel at: engaging with their community and making sales. The Merchant Tooling subteam, dedicated to our largest and most complex sellers, is pivotal in this mission. We are committed to evolving alongside our sellers as they grow their businesses, developing systems that facilitate both external and internal tools to support their scaling needs, including integrations with other e-commerce platforms, WMS, ERPs, and accounting software.
In your role, you will design and build large-scale, highly reliable systems that cater to our most demanding customers. Key responsibilities include:
Ensuring seamless, bi-directional data synchronization across marketplace, e-commerce, ERP, and additional enterprise systems, focusing on accuracy, consistency, and low-latency data flow.
Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams—including Product, Inventory, Operations, and external partners—to identify business needs and translate them into actionable technical solutions.
