About the Team

Poshmark’s Growth Cloud Platform team is at the center of how we acquire and activate new users. We move fast, ship often, and work directly with dedicated product managers, data analysts, and data scientists to build and iterate on features that connect millions of buyers and sellers. You’ll be embedded in a full-stack engineering team where your work ships to real users and your impact is measurable from day one.

About the Role

As a Growth Engineering Intern, you’ll contribute to a meaningful project: building a listing quality evaluation system that integrates into Poshmark’s external sharing pipeline. This means working across the full stack — backend APIs, ML/AI integrations, and data instrumentation — to help the Growth team surface better listings to prospective buyers through social media, UTM-tagged links, and our GDM (Growth Demand Marketing) channels.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to backend API development using Ruby/JRuby and MongoDB to expose listing quality signals


• Integrate with ML/AI scoring services (or help prototype a lightweight scoring model) to evaluate listing quality


• Build event tracking and data pipeline instrumentation to measure CTR, conversion, and GMV on externally shared listings


• Work cross-functionally with product managers, data analysts, and data scientists to scope and ship features


• Participate in code reviews, sprint planning, and team standups


• Produce a technical design document and deliver a final project presentation to the team

Required Qualifications

Strong computer science fundamentals — algorithms, data structures, system design basics
Hands-on experience building backend or full-stack features (Ruby, Python, Java, or similar)
Curiosity about growth, experimentation, and data-driven product development
Comfortable with ambiguity — you can break down a vague problem, ask smart questions, and iterate
Self-starter who takes ownership and communicates proactively

Bonus Qualifications

Familiarity with ML/AI APIs or scoring pipelines
Experience with analytics, A/B testing, or attribution tracking
Understanding of web technologies and cross-platform tracking (UTM parameters, pixels, etc.)
Prior exposure to large-scale distributed systems
