| Department | Open |
|---|---|
| Other | 9 |
Nine roles are listed, none with a department recorded, all opened between August 2023 and May 2024 (most recently a Founding Designer) and none opened or closed in the last 30 days; the site says "Shaped has been acquired by Whatnot," so these listings may not reflect current hiring.
Seniority: Not stated in the postings. Titles include Head of, Senior, Founding and roles with no seniority label.
Skills named most:
Locations: All roles are in New York City: seven in Williamsburg, one in Brooklyn, one in New York. None are remote.
If you're applying: Shaped's site says it "has been acquired by Whatnot," and every listed role was opened in 2023 or May 2024. Before applying, confirm with Shaped or Whatnot that the posting is still open, and check it for skills and experience, since no requirement text was extracted.
If you're selling or recruiting: The nine listings are all more than two years older than the site snapshot, none were opened in the last 30 days, and the site says Shaped "has been acquired by Whatnot." Treat this as no confirmed current hiring, and expect hiring and buying decisions to sit with Whatnot.
