About thredUP
Who We Are
thredUP (NASDAQ: TDUP) is one of the world's largest online resale platforms for women's and kids' apparel, shoes and accessories. Built around the mission "to inspire the world to think secondhand first," the company has processed over 172 million unique secondhand items from 55,000 brands across 100 categories — and has displaced 666 million pounds of CO₂e, the equivalent of taking 23 million cars off the road for a day, while saving its shoppers more than $5.3 billion off estimated retail prices. thredUP has been recognised on TIME's Most Influential Companies (2023), Digiday's WorkLife 50 (2023), TIME's Best Inventions (2022) and Lattice's People Success Awards (2022).
What We Do
Two products power thredUP: a consumer-facing managed marketplace that makes it easy to clean out closets and shop premium and luxury brands at up to 90% off estimated retail; and Resale-as-a-Service (RaaS) — a B2B platform that leading brands and retailers use to deliver customisable, scalable resale experiences to their own customers. The proprietary operating platform combines distributed processing infrastructure, in-house software, and data-science expertise — currently powered by an actively-hiring engineering organisation building AI/ML for personalisation, multimodal embeddings, retrieval & ranking models, and A/B testing infrastructure.
Where Will I Work?
thredUP runs a hybrid model across its US footprint: HQ in Oakland, CA (a historic-building space in one of the city's most vibrant neighbourhoods) plus a satellite office in Scottsdale, AZ (~8,000 sq. ft. for designers, analysts and engineers). Operations run from four large distribution centers: Mechanicsburg, PA (the original automated DC), Phoenix, AZ (100K+ items received daily, processing more than one item every second), Suwanee, GA (proprietary-tech pilot facility), and Lancaster, TX (the newest and largest, home to over 10 million items). Engineering and data-science roles are also hired remote in Mexico.
