About the Role

We’re looking for a Technical Product Manager to join our fast-growing team and help build the technology that connects buyers, sellers, and partners at scale.

This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves quickly, and enjoys working at the intersection of product, engineering, data, and operations. You’ll own the platform that directly influences marketplace liquidity, customer experience, operational efficiency, and growth.

You’ll work closely with engineering, design, data, operations, and commercial teams to turn complex business problems into simple, scalable technology products.
