At Topsort, we're reshaping the e-commerce landscape with our cutting-edge
growth media infrastructure and tools. We believe in making advertising
intuitive, intelligent, and genuinely cool, without any of the creepy ads or
cookie-obsession (well, maybe just the chocolate ones). In a rapidly changing
industry, we're on a mission to democratize monetization access for all and
ensure that advertising doesn't leave any brand or seller feeling confused or
overwhelmed.
Our team is all about straightforward communication, embracing feedback
without taking it personally, and fostering a super collaborative environment.
We thrive on working together, lifting each other up, and getting things done
with a sense of urgency. We're the kind of team that loves making bold
choices, sharing extraordinary opinions, and maintaining a 100mph pace. No
endless meetings here – if it can be done today, we're all about getting it
done today.
As a Software Engineer at Topsort you will build back-end services, APIs, and
front-end experiences to support our mission: democratizing auction-based
infrastructure for all marketplaces. Our first product is sponsored listings
as a service. We automate and simplify auctions so that any advertiser,
especially small ones, can compete successfully. It’s not easy. We use our
game and auction theory expertise; implement real-time, scalable, always-
available systems; and build an intuitive, easy-to-use UI for managing
campaigns.
We’re looking for people who want to build successful products, are
comfortable with data, like learning new technologies, can handle many moving
parts, and enjoy wearing different hats -- we’re a start-up!
We’re developing:
Scalable, fast services for running auctions
Financial systems -- ledgers, payments, invoicing, billing, etc.
Simple machinery for small vendors to optimize their advertising spend
Big data models for predicting customer behavior
Tools for our product and customer teams that streamline marketplace
integration
Our stack: Go, PostgreSQL, Typescript, React, View, Kubernetes, Terraform
