About the Role
App Platform is Whatnot's client infrastructure team, building the consistent, reliable foundation that every product team builds on top of across iOS, Android, and Web. As an Fullstack Engineer on App Platform, you'll focus on the infrastructure and building blocks that feature teams rely on: scaling our Web backend services, strengthening our networking and persistence layers, improving our client testing harnesses, driving app stability and crash reduction, and partnering closely with product teams to make sure the "right way" to build is also the easiest way.
