We see things a little differently
Most look at marketplaces and see deeply entrenched category leaders. We see endless opportunity. That’s why we are building Sold. We want to reinvent selling: taking the work of pricing, listing, haggling and shipping and replacing it with a bit of calm space. If you're seeing what we’re seeing, keep reading.
Join a one-of-a-kind team
With serious engineering chops
Sold's engineers don't mess around. Collectively we've substantially decreased the boot time and battery usage of the world's most used software product (Windows), experimented with radically different human computer interaction paradigms (Recompose, Tether), mapped radiation movements in Japan (Safecast) and built parts of a quantum computer from carbon nanotubes.
And unexpected twists
The Sold. team is defined by its eclectic mix of backgrounds: from the MIT Media Lab, Microsoft, global design firms, physics labs, and world class advertising agencies. Why? New perspectives spark new ideas (and a few beers along the way).

We’re looking for a talented front-end engineer to help us create best in class mobile apps for Android and iOS. We care about every pixel and look for candidates that do too.
