With hubs in the US, UK, Ireland, Poland, and Germany, we’re building the future of online marketplaces—together.
From fashion, beauty, and electronics to rare collectibles like trading cards, comic books, and even live plants, our live auctions have something for everyone.

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 senior 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 creator-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.
Key Responsibilities

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
Team members in this role are required to be within commuting distance of our San Francisco, CA, New York, NY, Seattle, WA, or Los Angeles, CA hubs.

2+ years working on video, streaming, or infrastructure-heavy products Proven ability to ship complex, technical systems at scale Strong technical fluency—you’re comfortable navigating tradeoffs in encoding, protocols, and CDN design Exceptional collaboration and communication skills across disciplines and levels Passion for small business, live video, and building novel consumer experiences
