Engg-wise what is the platform aspect in marketplace platform?
Platform is a dispatching engine. Dispatching jobs with supply and demand. Program teams like pool or driver experience build user facing features. The platform team also manages database and locking and transaction abstractions. We also work on framework and monorepo tooling.
It's awesome. reports to Kevin Thompson, who is great.
Great team. I'm not on it but I work closely with them. Mission critical, low-latency systems that handle all real-time requests from the Mobile apps. Join us!

Is fulfillment platform team and marketplace platform team same?
It's a great team. I'm on it. Feel free to msg. Working on mission critical systems, like being on the windows or office team at early Microsoft Our technology stack is micro services, golang and nodejs. Plenty of growth opportunities and impact, we are critical path and there are a lot of things that need to evolve. Work culture is good. We have good managers and generally shielded from the game of thrones in other parts of the company. There are some cons like being on call and being responsible for mission critical software including unbreak now bugs.
thanks for your reply, recently got offer from marketplace, i'm concerned about the flood of negative news the past several months, but the team looks great from your description.
Kevin Thompson (eng VP of marketplace) is top notch. I want to transfer to that team.
