Job description
About the team
GOAT is more than just sneakers—we are building the world’s most comprehensive Catalog of collectible items, from apparel and artwork to media and beyond. Some items are for sale, while others exist simply to be documented, but together, they form a one-of-a-kind archive. Catalog grows larger each day, and our team’s job is to accelerate that growth – helping GOAT to accumulate more knowledge, as well as enabling interesting new things to be done with that knowledge.
As a Software Engineer on the Product Catalog team, you’ll help shape this vision by building and maintaining internal tools for ingesting, processing, and displaying products.

In this role, you will:
As a member of the Product Catalog team, you will work with a tech stack that includes Golang, Ruby on Rails, DynamoDB, and gRPC. You’ll extend and refine existing services while also designing and building new ones to support our evolving needs. Immediate contributions will likely involve search functionality, client APIs, and generally optimizing how products are fed through our system. Given our team’s small size, you will also have the opportunity to do some full-stack development in Node and React
Collaboration is key—you’ll work closely with other backend engineers to solve complex problems and integrate with teams that rely on the Catalog, ensuring they have the data and tools they need. Along the way, you’ll learn from and contribute to a team of excellent GOAT engineers who are passionate about building scalable and intelligent systems.

- Some experience in full-stack development, particularly NodeJS and React
- Experience collaborating with non-technical stakeholders to bring clarity to complex business problems
- A self-starter with a high attention to detail and strong communication skills
- An interest in taking on more scope and responsibility over time
