Global marketplace connecting couples with wedding vendors across 16+ countries
The Knot Worldwide operates a multi-sided marketplace matching 4M+ couples annually with 850K+ wedding vendors, plus adjacent celebration planning (parties, etc.). The tech stack spans Salesforce, AWS/GCP/Azure, React/Node, and modern data tools (dbt, Airbyte, Airflow), with React Native adoption underway—typical for a marketplace scaling mobile surfaces. Sales-led hiring (65 roles) dominates the department mix, but active work on semantic search, real-time recommendations, and subscription renewal signals an engineering-driven shift toward personalization and retention.
