Description For Android Engineer, Inventory (Seller Engineering)

Whatnot is revolutionizing e-commerce as North America and Europe's largest livestream shopping platform. The Inventory team within Seller Engineering is seeking an Android Engineer to enhance how sellers manage and present their merchandise. This role requires expertise in Android development with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, plus strong reactive programming skills using Coroutines and Flows.

The ideal candidate brings 5+ years of software engineering experience in high-growth startups, demonstrating product instinct, problem-solving capabilities, and team leadership. You'll need to excel at translating user needs into technical solutions, tackle ambiguous challenges autonomously, and foster an inclusive team culture.

Key responsibilities include building fluid, responsive user interfaces and owning projects end-to-end. The role demands expertise in MVI or MVVM development patterns and a track record of shipping high-quality features rapidly. You'll be instrumental in redesigning how sellers conduct live sales on the platform.

Whatnot offers competitive compensation ($185,000-$245,000/year plus benefits and equity) and comprehensive benefits including flexible PTO, health insurance, home office allowances, wellness benefits, and family planning support. The company values diversity and maintains a low-ego, high-impact culture focused on bringing people together through commerce.

Team members must be within commuting distance of hubs in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, or New York City. Join a fast-growing marketplace that's redefining e-commerce by blending community, shopping, and entertainment.
