About Pickle

Pickle is a peer-to-peer rental marketplace unlocking the value of billions of underutilized items sitting in consumers' closets. We make it easy to rent high-quality items exactly when you need them — with fast, convenient fulfillment and an on-demand experience that's as seamless as shopping.

We're building a new kind of commerce layer: one powered by dynamic local supply, where access is more convenient than ownership. Pickle is now live nationwide and scaling rapidly in key local markets including NYC, LA, and Miami. Our marketplace already features 300K+ items listed for rent, and we're expanding continuously.

What makes Pickle different is the combination of incredible peer-to-peer inventory, industry-leading convenience (under 2 days nationwide and under 2 hours locally), and an on-demand model with no subscriptions — users rent what they want, when they want it. Backed by Series A funding raised in early 2025 from FirstMark and Craft, we're scaling quickly and building the future of access-driven shopping.

About the Role

This is a full-stack engineering role at the center of how Pickle works. You will build and ship features across the entire stack: from the React and React Native interfaces our renters and lenders use every day, to the APIs, services, background jobs, and database layers that power them.

You will own product problems end to end: understanding what needs to be built, designing the technical approach, implementing it across the stack, and iterating once it's in users' hands. The domains you work in will evolve with the product. One quarter you might be building rental booking flows or marketplace payments; the next, improving the AI assistant, search infrastructure or performance across mobile and web.

What You'll Bring

Systems thinking: Design and implement solutions that scale across frontend, backend, and database layers
High-quality code: Write code other engineers can build on and maintain long-term
User-centric mindset: Care deeply about the experience we ship to users
Execution speed: Move fast without cutting corners or compromising on quality
Continuous learning: Stay curious and keep learning with every step

What You'll Do

End-to-End Product Ownership: Collaborate with product and design to scope and shape new features. Design clean technical approaches before writing code. Implement solutions across frontend, backend, and database layers. Iterate quickly based on user feedback and data.

Frontend Engineering (Web & Mobile): Build high-quality user interfaces using React for web and React Native for mobile. Optimize for performance, accessibility, and user experience. Ship features that delight renters and lenders alike.

Backend & Infrastructure: Design and build APIs and services that power the marketplace. Work with databases and background jobs to support real-time rental operations. Ensure reliability and scalability as we grow.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work alongside product managers, designers, and other engineers. Participate in technical planning and code reviews. Help shape our engineering culture and practices.

This is an ideal opportunity for engineers who thrive with real product ownership, enjoy building full-stack solutions, and want to be part of a well-funded, rapidly scaling marketplace transforming how people access goods.
