ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring multiple Software Engineer II's across our Fulfillment organization — the backend systems that get the right job to the right Tasker and see it through to completion. You'll join one of two teams, matched to your strengths through a single interview process: * Point to Point Fulfillment — a brand-new team modernizing one of the most operationally demanding parts of our marketplace: retiring an aging legacy platform, rebuilding its capabilities on modern infrastructure, and migrating live customer and partner traffic onto the new system. * Fulfillment Lifecycle — the team that decides how jobs are matched to Taskers for our partner and marketplace business, increasingly using structured and unstructured data (profiles, reviews, job history) and experimentation to make matching smarter and fulfillment more reliable. Both teams work inside a company-wide platform modernization effort, breaking a legacy monolith into well-bounded, API-first services. The common thread we're hiring for is a strong backend engineer who thrives on complex, data-intensive problems, is comfortable with ambiguity, and takes pride in well-tested, observable, production-ready code.

WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON

* Build and evolve the backend services that power how Taskrabbit fulfills jobs — from matching the right Tasker to a job, to modernizing the systems that move work through our platform. * Depending on your team: help retire a legacy system and migrate live traffic onto a modern platform, or improve how we match and rank Taskers for partner and marketplace jobs. * Work with data at the core of the problem — safe migrations of millions of records on one team; structured and unstructured signals feeding matching and ranking on the other. * Decompose legacy components into independent, API-first domain services as part of our platform modernization. * Build and consume well-designed APIs, and interface cleanly with adjacent systems and models (e.g., recommendation and ranking models owned by our ML team). * Use AI coding agents and modern developer tooling to ramp on unfamiliar code, write tests, and ship faster. * Own your work end-to-end: design docs, code reviews, testing, observability, and a share of the on-call rotation.

YOUR AREAS OF EXPERTISE

* 2+ years building and operating backend services in production, in one or more modern languages (across Fulfillment we use Node.js/TypeScript, Ruby, Python, Java, and Go). * A solid grasp of databases — relational (e.g., PostgreSQL) and/or NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB) — and the ability to model and query data well. * Experience designing, building, and consuming REST APIs in a service-oriented or microservices environment. * Strong problem-solving in complex, ambiguous systems — breaking big problems down and shipping incrementally. * A testing and debugging habit, with genuine care for reliability and observability in production. * Helpful to have one or more of: system migration / re-platforming, payments or other correctness-critical flows, search / ranking / relevance, working with structured and unstructured data, or experimentation (A/B testing). * Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS), CI/CD, and AI-assisted development tools.
