About The Position

Taskrabbit is a marketplace platform that conveniently connects people with Taskers to handle everyday home to-do’s, such as furniture assembly, handyman work, moving help, and much more. At Taskrabbit, we want to transform lives one task at a time. As a company we celebrate innovation, inclusion and hard work. Our culture is collaborative, pragmatic, and fast-paced. We’re looking for talented, entrepreneurially minded and data-driven people who also have a passion for helping people do what they love.

Taskrabbit is a hybrid company with employees distributed across the US and EU and a Built In — Best Places to Work (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) continually ranked across multiple national and regional categories. Join us at Taskrabbit, where your work will be meaningful, your ideas valued, and your potential unleashed! This role operates on a hybrid schedule requiring two days of in-office collaboration per week. The position must be based in the San Francisco Bay Area. We're hiring a Software Engineer II's within our Fulfillment organization — the backend systems that get the right job to the right Tasker and see it through to completion. You'll join Fulfillment Lifecycle, the team that decides how jobs are matched to Taskers for our partner and marketplace business, increasingly using structured and unstructured data (profiles, reviews, job history) and experimentation to make matching smarter and fulfillment more reliable. Both teams work inside a company-wide platform modernization effort, breaking a legacy monolith into well-bounded, API-first services. The common thread we're hiring for is a strong backend engineer who thrives on complex, data-intensive problems, is comfortable with ambiguity, and takes pride in well-tested, observable, production-ready code.

Requirements

2+ years building and operating backend services in production, in one or more modern languages (Node.js/TypeScript, Ruby).
Used AI Coding agents to ship code to comparable production systems
Experience designing, building, and consuming REST APIs in a service-oriented or microservices environment.
Strong problem-solving in complex, ambiguous systems — breaking big problems down and shipping incrementally.
A testing and debugging practice with genuine care for reliability and observability in production.

Nice To Haves

system migration / re-platforming
search / ranking / relevance
working with structured and unstructured data
experimentation (A/B testing)
Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS), CI/CD, and AI-assisted development tools.

Responsibilities

Build and evolve the backend services that power how Taskrabbit fulfills jobs — from matching the right Tasker to a job, to modernizing the systems that move work through our platform.
Improve how we match and rank Taskers for partner and marketplace jobs.
Work with data at the core of the problem — safe migrations of millions of records on one team; structured and unstructured signals feeding matching and ranking on the other.
Improve search platform
Decompose legacy components into independent, API-first domain services as part of our platform modernization.
Build and consume well-designed APIs, and interface cleanly with adjacent systems and models (e.g., recommendation and ranking models owned by our ML team).
Use AI coding agents and modern developer tooling to ramp on unfamiliar code, write tests, and ship faster.
Own your work end-to-end: design docs, code reviews, testing, observability, and a share of the on-call rotation.
