About the Team
GOAT Group represents the leading platforms for authentic sneakers, apparel and accessories.Operating four distinct brands–GOAT, Flight Club, Grailed and alias–GOAT Group has a global community of more than 60M members across 170 countries. As an engineer at GOAT Group, the work you do will change the way the world shops and the way we operate as a company.
As a Backend Engineer at GOAT Group, you’ll own and build the platform that backs GOATs global marketplace. This platform connects over 60M buyers and sellers, along with dozens of warehouses and retail stores, across a variety of clients (web properties, mobile apps, API partners, internal services, etc.) and brands (GOAT, Flight Club, Grailed, alias). The problems you’ll solve will range from how to launch high-scale sneaker and apparel drops, to how to equip our sellers with live and meaningful market data, to how to optimize fulfillment within our expansive international network.
In this role, you will:
As a member of the Pricing Team, you’ll play a critical role in this platform, ensuring that buyers and sellers always see the best and latest prices for all products on the marketplace. First and foremost, this means building and maintaining GOAT’s dynamic pricing algorithm, which uses product prices, inventory locations, fulfillment costs, and trade and tax regulations to compute a regional low price for every product. It also means building tooling to configure and test this algorithm, as well as owning the underlying pipeline that updates these prices in real-time and keeps them consistent across the platform (from checkout to product pages to search, etc.). And since Pricing plays at least some role in the display of almost “everything with a dollar sign”, you’ll contribute heavily to shared features like checkout, offer settlement, tax remittance, accounting, and more.
Specifically, we’re looking for a high Senior or Staff level engineer to help mature the Pricing platform and keep it stable, scalable, and easy to understand as new features and complexity get added. To do this well, you’ll need to acclimate quickly to a large existing codebase, build informed opinions supported by observation and evidence, communicate clearly in spite of complexity, and manage risk while still being proactive and outcome - oriented. And as an expert and potential technical lead on the team, you’ll have significant opportunities for leadership and growth, and to make a lasting impact at GOAT.
We are looking for:
- 5+ years of experience in backend software engineering (preferably in Golang or Ruby)
- Experience with relational (PostgreSQL) and non-relational (dynamoDB) data stores
- Experience working on large, production, customer-facing systems
- Experience working as a service owner or technical lead
- Experience collaborating with non-technical stakeholders to bring clarity to complex business problems
- Experience, comfort, and interest in working with and improving large codebases
- Experience with both monoliths and service-oriented architectures
- Experience working on features related to e-commerce, pricing, or checkout
- A self-starter with a high attention to detail and strong communication skills
- An interest in taking on more scope and responsibility over time
- BS degree preferred
- Bonus: Engineering experience at a public e-commerce or marketplace company
- Bonus: Engineering experience at a successful IPO-stage startup

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
