WHO WE ARE

Loveseat.com is on a mission to eliminate all waste from the supply chain in the home goods space - e.g. furniture, decor, appliances, etc. We are a consumer-first marketplace giving returned & overstocked goods a second chance to find a consumer who wants to save 70% off retail on a near-perfect item.

Loveseat is growing fast and is fresh off a Series A round led by Bessemer Venture Partners. We are seeking an Engineering Manager to join our team and take the company to the next level!

You'll have an important role in the launch of new features, architecting our infrastructure for scale, and the execution of our roadmap.

• Own the technical development timeline across 3 proprietary products including consumer-facing website, internal admin website, and internal mobile application.

• Lead the current engineering team and provide guidance on additional engineering hires as company scales.
• Monitor infrastructure for a high-volume auction-based business and maintain enough resources for rapid audience and geographical growth.

• 2+ years full stack software engineering experience

WHAT WE DO

Loveseat Online Auctions was founded in 2020 and operates a managed marketplace for returned and other distressed inventory in the home goods (furniture, decor, etc.) space from major retailers and vendors. Everything is sold at auction with most items starting at just $10. Think: TJMaxx meets eBay. Fulfillment is done locally via Loveseat's network of warehouses in major metro areas.

The customer proposition is simple: score amazing deals on great stuff for your home in a fun and (slightly addictive) gamified shopping experience.
