Join the Future of Commerce with Whatnot!

Whatnot is the largest livestream shopping platform in North America and Europe to buy, sell, and discover the things you love. We’re re-defining e-commerce by blending community, shopping, and entertainment into a community just for you. As a remote co-located team, we’re inspired by innovation and anchored in our values. 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.

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 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

  • 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

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.

You

Curious about who thrives at Whatnot? We’ve found that embodying a low ego, growth mindset, and high-impact drive goes a long way here.

As our next Video Platform Product Manager you should have 8+ years of product management experience, plus :

  • 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
  • Benefits

  • Flexible Time off Policy and Company-wide Holidays (including a spring and winter break)
  • 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

    Whatnot is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We value diversity, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, parental status, disability status, or any other status protected by local law.
