Software Engineer- Shipping Full Time NEW

Reverb is the largest online marketplace dedicated to buying and selling new, used, and vintage musical instruments. Since launching in 2013, Reverb has grown into a vibrant community of buyers and sellers all over the world. By focusing on inspiring content, price transparency, musician-focused e-commerce tools, a music-savvy customer service team, and more, Reverb has created an online destination where the global music community can connect over the perfect piece of music gear.

We love working at Reverb because we’re making the world more musical—through our marketplace and through Reverb Gives, which provides musical instruments to youth music education programs. We were named a “Best Place to Work” by Built in Chicago and a “Top Workplace” by the Chicago Tribune.

About The Role

The Shipping team is responsible for providing our buyers and sellers with a first-class shipping experience. We connect a global community of musicians, providing buyers with competitive prices, equipping sellers with the tools they need to optimize their shipping, and protecting both buyers and sellers throughout the entire process. It’s a crucial part of shopping on Reverb, and the team is dedicated to every aspect of it.

We’re looking for a full-stack engineer to join our team. You’ll work across our Rails app, React frontend, and GraphQL gateway, touching every piece of the shipping experience from buyer-facing UIs to seller configuration tools to vendor integrations. You’ll collaborate closely with other full-stack and mobile engineers, product, and design to deliver the shipping features that make Reverb the best place to buy and sell gear.

This is a full-time, hybrid role based in Chicago, IL. Local employees meet weekly at our Salt Shed office, and we all come together for quarterly org onsites and our yearly Reverbfest.

Responsibilities

• Ship full-stack features across our Rails/React/GraphQL codebases, building comfort in new parts of the stack as you go
• Own features end-to-end from scoping and definition through testing, rollout and monitoring
• Collaborate across engineering, product, and design to scope and refine early concepts and see through release
• Debug production issues methodically and clearly communicate problems alongside your team
• Participate in code review, contribute to architecture and documentation, and advocate for tech debt and testing as part of your regular work
• Take ownership of the health and performance of your team’s services, not just the work you ship

Requirements

• 2-4+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Solid fundamentals in Ruby/Rails and JavaScript/React and comfort working across the stack
• Familiarity with GraphQL or eagerness to learn it
• Understanding of web architecture including the separation of frontend and backend concerns and thoughtful API design
• Clear communicator who can scope and explain tradeoffs to engineers, product managers, and designers alike
• Experience with AI workflows, TypeScript, Datadog, Docker, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions is a plus

We write code that matters to music makers. If that resonates with you, we’d love to talk.
