Company Description
Depop is a peer-to-peer circular fashion marketplace where anyone can buy, sell and discover secondhand fashion. Our mission is simple: to make fashion circular by making secondhand as exciting and rewarding as buying new.
Founded in 2011, Depop’s diverse community has helped move resale into the mainstream, where buying secondhand is no longer an alternative, but how people of different ages now engage with fashion. Today, more than 56 million registered users come to Depop to find great value, express their own personal style and give clothes a longer life. We believe that everything you want already exists, and our role is to help people discover it.
Powered by a team of over 500 people, our company is headquartered in London, with offices in New York. In 2021, Depop became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Etsy - the global marketplace for unique and creative goods - and continues to operate as a standalone company.

We aim to create an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, no matter who they are or where they’re from. Just as our platform connects people globally, we believe our workplace should reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. We thrive on the power of different perspectives and experiences, knowing they drive innovation and bring us closer to our users.
We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer, providing employment opportunities without regard to age, ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy or maternity, marriage and civil partnership, or any other protected status.

Platform Engineer
Job Description
Role
The Platform Core team owns and operates the AWS cloud environment the business relies on. The team sets the paved paths for Terraform and IaC (infrastructure as code), CI/CD, Edge using Cloudflare and the VPN running on Appgate.
As an engineer on this team, you’ll be working on building for scale at a rapid pace, while driving improvements that help the wider engineering organisation ship faster and safer. You'll move fast, make real architectural decisions, and have genuine ownership. This isn't a ticket-closing role - you'll shape how we build and operate our platform.
Day to day, that means managing our infrastructure, helping other engineers move fast and self-serve, working on an ever-evolving threat on our CDN, and ensuring system health. You'd be hands-on with infrastructure-as-code, Cloudflare services, automation languages (python, golang), whilst also thinking about how your work reduces friction for the engineers who depend on the platform every day, and using various AI tools to move fast.
The role blends deep infrastructure expertise with a product mindset - the team's "customers" are internal engineers, and success is measured by pipeline reliability, deployment speed, and developer sentiment, not just uptime.
