Join the Future of Commerce with Whatnot

And we're just getting started As one of the fastest growing marketplaces, we're looking for bold, forward-thinking problem solvers across all functional areas. Check out the latest Whatnot updates on our news and engineering blogs and join us as we enable anyone to turn their passion into a business, and bring people together through commerce.

Role

Whatnot is seeking a Product Manager to lead the strategy, vision, and execution for our core video platform-the engine that powers real-time, commerce-driven livestreaming. As the most senior IC PM for video, you'll own the infrastructure, UX, and developer surface area that enables thousands of sellers to go live, millions of users to watch, and seamless transactions to happen in real time.

You will partner closely with engineering, design, infra, and seller-facing teams to scale our low-latency video systems, evolve our broadcast and viewing experience, and enable new formats. Your work will shape the future of livestream and video based shopping. You will:
  • Own the end-to-end product roadmap for the video platform, from ingestion and encoding to playback and seller tooling.
  • Define and execute against SLAs for quality, reliability, and latency
  • Collaborate with infrastructure, client, and ML teams to optimize video delivery and viewer experience
  • Drive integrations with interactive features (e.g., chat, auctions, overlays) to deepen engagement
  • Partner with sellers and internal teams to understand pain points and translate them into scalable video solutions
  • Establish product metrics and experimentation frameworks to validate performance and user impact
We offer flexibility to work from home or from one of our global office hubs, and we value in-person time for planning, problem-solving, and connection. Team members in this role must live within commuting distance of our San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, or Seattle hubs.

You
  • 8+ years of product management experience with a track record of shipping complex, technical products at scale.
  • 2+ years building video experiences (e.g., livestreaming, interactive broadcasts). General streaming or video infrastructure experience is valuable, but success turning it into compelling consumer experiences matters most.
  • Deep understanding of the dynamics of live vs. asynchronous video: latency/Presence, concurrency, failure modes, moderation, and seller workflows.
  • Data-driven decision maker who can define the right KPIs, instrument platforms, and run experiments to drive measurable outcomes.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication across disciplines and levels.
Compensation

For US-based applicants:$240,000/year to $275,000/year + benefits + equity.

The salary range may be inclusive of several levels that would be applicable to the position. Final salary will be based on a number of factors including, level, relevant prior experience, skills and expertise. This range is only inclusive of base salary, not benefits (more details below) or equity.

Benefits
  • Generous Holiday and Time off Policy
  • Health Insurance options including Medical, Dental, Vision
  • Work From Home Support
    • Home office setup allowance
    • Monthly allowance for cell phone and internet
  • Care benefits
    • Monthly allowance for wellness
    • Annual allowance towards Childcare
    • Lifetime benefit for family planning, such as adoption or fertility expenses
  • Retirement; 401k offering for Traditional and Roth accounts in the US (employer match up to 4% of base salary) and Pension plans internationally
  • Monthly allowance to dogfood the app
    • All Whatnauts are expected to develop a deep understanding of our product. We're passionate about building the best user experience, and all employees are expected to use Whatnot as both a buyer and a seller as part of their job (our dogfooding budget makes this fun and easy).
  • Parental Leave
    • 16 weeks of paid parental leave + one month gradual return to work *company leave allowances run concurrently with country leave requirements which take precedence.
EOE
