Shedd is an app for buying and selling pre-adored fashion.
Sounds simple enough, right?
Our ambitions are significantly bigger. We believe fashion is just
the start. The goal has always been to make better use of the world's
possessions. What we do after revolutionising the way the planet consume
fashion with a heavy bias to minimalism and access over ownership is up
to you.
Our Vision
We are Shedd, and we are trying to help the world make better use of
its possessions. We see the biggest opportunity right now in the fashion
segment, where globalization, increased dispensable income in emerging
markets, social media obsession and fast fashion are creating
consumerism that is spiraling out of control.
We know that over 50% of the average woman’s wardrobe space is
made up of unworn or once-worn items in perfect condition, that will
never be worn again. We think this is a huge waste.
So Shedd created a fashion marketplace enabling people to be creative
and experimental – but in a more sustainable way. Promoting the
buy.wear.shedd. mentality.
A young and hungry company with a global footprint, backed by OLX
Group and Naspers – Shedd is an exciting place to work. We are
aggressively expanding into new markets, and are still agile enough to
test and iterate design systems with pace (as a start-up would), whilst
benefiting from the backing and experience of a global powerhouse, to
scale quickly.
The Role

developing and maintaining Shedd’s analytics architecture, technology

engineering and data science teams – catalyzing your path to becoming an
expert in the space.
The challenge for the Shedd data engineer is to lead the data
