And, we’re growing. Whatnot has been the fastest growing marketplace in the US over the past two years and we’re hiring forward-thinking problem solvers across all functional areas.
💻 Role
Gather, share, and coach industry best practices for implementing customer identity and access in both front-end and back-end implementations.

Engage with engineers across the entire organization to leverage our authorization and authentication strategy and implementation.
Take ownership of features from start to finish, facilitating review and discussion with peers and partners to ensure features meet product requirements.
Work in close partnership with your engineering leaders to build out and execute everything from project design to engineering and security standards.
Team members in this role are required to be within commuting distance of our Dublin, Ireland hub.
