Job description

Back Market is the world’s leading refurbished electronics marketplace with a team of 650 people, powering operations in 21 countries (and counting!).

Named one of the World's Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company in 2019 and again in 2021, our mission is simple: empowering people to consume tech sustainably by offering folks a high quality, accessible, and more eco-friendly alternative to buying new electronics. Why? Refurbished tech helps lower our collective environmental impact. We have indeed contributed to avoid the production of more than 1,000,000 tons of CO2e worldwide since our launch in 2014.

Be part of an exciting and growing international adventure that will change the way the world consumes tech.

The Global Growth team is helping Back Market increase its impact and reach by launching our services in new countries, and implementing country-specific features.

We adapt our product to local needs and culture in markets where significant growth is still expected in Europe, North America, and APAC. We are in close contact with business developers to identify what our local customers and sellers need most, and implement it.

The trifecta (Product Managers, Engineering Manager, and Business Developers) refines these projects, and use data projections to define our priorities. Global Growth developers are entrusted to implement these features regardless of the functional or technical scope, as long as they comply with contribution guidelines.

Some examples of the work we did for the launch of Japan can be found in the following blog posts.

1. Handling multiple currencies with Django 

2. Japan (re)launch 

Engineering is located in Tokyo and Paris, and our Product Managers are located in New York, Singapore and Paris.
