Hi, we’re Back Market.
We’re here to help make tech reliable, affordable, and better than new. We're a global marketplace for refurbished devices, helping lower our collective environmental impact by providing trustworthy, affordable tech with 92% less carbon emissions than new.
Yep, you read that right. Turns out refurbished tech is way better for the planet than new. In fact, With every device purchased on Back Market, our positive impact on the planet grows. From our Customer Care representatives to our software engineer, every individual at Back Market cuts the planet — and consumers — a break. Our mission is simple: to do more with what we already have.
Are you ready to join us?
Our Care & Delivery IT team is at the center of Back Market's biggest customer experience transformation: Care 2.0. We're modernizing how we support millions of customers worldwide, moving from legacy systems to a cutting-edge SaaS ecosystem that makes refurbished tech easier to buy, own, and love. This isn't just another tech migration; it's our answer to scaling the circular economy without compromising the human touch.
You'll lead a team of two engineers (plus freelance partners) who build the integrations and automations that help 500+ customer care agents handle customer inquiries about purchases, trade-ins, and deliveries.
Your team owns the technical backbone: Zendesk, Intercom, Salesforce, Mayday, and more—connecting everything into one seamless customer journey.
Every workflow you ship directly impacts our customers, our sellers, and the agents supporting them. This is a hybrid role where you'll split your time between developing your engineers and staying hands-on with the work, architecting solutions, coding workflows, and problem-solving alongside your team.
And here's the mission-driven part: every automation you build helps us handle more refurbished devices at scale, which means more electronics saved from landfills and more people choosing circular over new.
