Original posting

StockX | Detroit | Full-time ONSITE | https://stockx.com/jobs From HR: StockX is the world’s first 'stock market of things' for high-demand, limited edition sneakers, streetwear, watches, and handbags. Launching in 2016, our live marketplace allows users to anonymously buy and sell limited edition consumer products with stock market-like visibility. From an engineer: - Kanye West, Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube all visited our offices in the last month. Snoop took pictures with people. - We're well funded, growing fast. Just closed Detroit's largest VC round ($44MM from GV, Battery). - Engineering team is doubling to 120ish in the next 6 months. - Link above has some job descriptions and ways to apply. - Our edge team is doing cool stuff with serverless. We're over a billion invocations of our lambda functions a month. Tech StackX: - Clients: iOS with Swift + Android moving from Java to Kotlin + React/Redux on web - Edge/Serverless: Cloudflare (workers are coming!), AWS API Gateway, AWS Lambdas (Node.js), DynamoDB/Redis for caching - Backend: PHP/MySQL moving to Node.js and Go microservices with Kubernetes, Redis, Postgres, other things - DevOps: AWS! Terraform! So many things! - Other: Really depends on the team. There's autonomy to try new things. What do you want to use?
