About Us


We are a top-tier secondary market dealer of ultra-luxury watches, including Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, and Rolex. Our mission is to build the most efficient and trusted luxury watch marketplace - one that gives buyers the best-priced, hardest-to-find timepieces, and gives our internal team best-in-class tools to move fast and close deals. To achieve this, we're hiring a Pricing & Sourcing Automation Engineer to build high-leverage internal tools - starting with a marketplace scraping engine and a real-time message parsing system that fuels quoting, pricing, and acquisition decisions. If you're a strong Python developer with experience in web scraping, automation, and real-time data processing - and you're excited about solving high-value problems in a luxury space - this role is for you.


What You'll Do


Build a Marketplace Pricing Intelligence Engine

  • Scrape floor prices across marketplaces like Chrono24 and eBay
  • Filter listings by year, condition, seller trust score, and region
  • Track price trends per SKU over time
  • Detect price deltas and surface buying or repricing opportunities
  • Apply business rules to calculate our ideal list price and margin

Develop a Messaging-Based Listing Parser

  • Parse product listings shared via real-time messaging platforms (e.g., WhatsApp Web)
  • Extract structured data: reference numbers, years, conditions, prices, and currencies
  • Normalize shorthand formats like "42k usd" or "€38,000"
  • Organize results into a searchable, filterable internal tool
  • Help salespeople quote faster and buyers source smarter

Ship Lightweight Internal Dashboards

  • Build simple UIs for internal team use (Streamlit, Flask, or React)
  • Enable filtering by ref number, price, condition, seller, etc.
  • Optional: add Slack/email alerts for specific triggers (e.g., watch under $X appears)

Contribute to Data Strategy & Automation Roadmap

  • Work closely with business leadership to define what data matters
  • Suggest ways to improve sourcing, pricing, quoting speed, and margin using automation
  • Optionally contribute to future tools like predictive pricing or SEO-driven listing generators

What You Bring to the Table

  • 3+ years experience in Python development, especially web scraping, data parsing, and automation
  • Strong skills with pandas, re, Playwright, Selenium, or similar scraping tools
  • Ability to clean and normalize messy real-world data (especially pricing/currency formats)
  • Experience building simple dashboards for internal users (Streamlit, Flask, React, or similar)
  • Comfortable turning unstructured inputs (chat logs, shorthand listings) into clean, searchable outputs
  • Clear logic and decision-making: able to implement rule-based business filters
  • Bonus: Experience parsing data from messaging platforms like WhatsApp Web, Slack, Telegram
  • Bonus: Experience in e-commerce, marketplaces, or quoting tools
  • Bonus: Familiarity with luxury watches or the luxury goods space as a whole

Why Join Us?

  • High-impact role where your work directly drives revenue and sales.
  • Competitive salary, performance bonuses, and potential equity opportunities.
  • Work with a team disrupting the $20B+ secondary luxury watch market.
  • Opportunity to grow into a senior engineering or leadership role.
  • Access to the world's most exclusive watches and high-net-worth clientele.
