About the role

CharterUP is seeking a Senior Software Engineer with experience in marketplace, dynamic pricing, and auction-based systems to design, build, and evolve the core systems that power our two-sided marketplace.

You’ll work closely with engineering leadership, product managers, and cross-functional teams to develop pricing, matching, and transaction systems that drive efficiency, liquidity, and growth. In this role, you’ll contribute to systems that handle real-time pricing, supply-demand balancing, and competitive bidding dynamics leveraging modern development practices and AI-assisted tools to improve decisioning, performance, and developer velocity.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build systems that power dynamic pricing, marketplace matching, and auction workflows, using modern and AI-assisted development practices
• Develop high-quality full-stack applications (React, Vue) and backend services (Java), enabling scalable and reliable marketplace operations
• Implement and optimize pricing logic, bidding mechanisms, and supply-demand balancing, incorporating data-driven and AI-informed approaches where appropriate
• Ensure scalability, reliability, and performance of marketplace systems through robust architecture and AWS-based infrastructure
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, data, and business teams to refine pricing strategies and identify opportunities to enhance marketplace efficiency using AI

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of experience as a full-stack or backend-leaning software engineer in fast-paced environments
• Experience building or working on marketplace, pricing, auction, or matching systems
• Strong backend skills with JVM-based languages (Java, Kotlin, etc.) and experience with modern frontend frameworks (React, Vue, or Angular)
• Solid understanding of distributed systems and cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS), with exposure to AI-assisted tools or data-driven systems
• Ownership mindset with the ability to translate complex marketplace dynamics (pricing, liquidity, supply-demand) into scalable technical solutions, leveraging modern and AI-enhanced approaches where appropriate
