Lead Systems & Product Engineer (Founding Software Engineer) — Own The Pokemon Marketplace

Misprint

Date listed

1 month ago

Employment Type

Full time

Misprint is a peer-to-peer marketplace for graded and sealed Pokémon cards, think StockX, but built for liquidity, transparency, and speed in collectibles. We’re YC-backed, operating in NYC, and growing quickly.

We’re looking for a high-agency full stack engineer who’s excited to own real systems end-to-end: product, data, ops tooling, and reliability. This is a “see the bottleneck, fix it” role, not a “wait for tickets” role.

What you’ll do

You’ll work closely with the founder + our existing engineers to:

  • Own core marketplace flows (listings, bids/asks, checkout, payouts, disputes)
  • Turn existing systems into clean, documented ones (migrations, scripts, admin tooling, runbooks)
  • Build internal tooling & automations so support doesn’t require DB surgery
  • Own key data pipelines that power pricing/market data and catalog mappings
  • Improve reliability: monitoring, incident playbooks, permissions, backups, and “bus factor” reduction

What success looks like (first 60–90 days)

  • You can deploy confidently, handle incidents, and know where the bodies are buried (with docs)
  • The “critical scripts” are owned, runnable, and not tribal knowledge
  • Support/ops has guardrails + tools (fewer manual overrides, faster resolution)
  • Clear roadmap + execution cadence with the team

Our stack

  • Frontend: React / Next.js / Tailwind
  • Backend/Data: Supabase (Postgres), Python, some Node
  • Infra: Vercel, AWS, Porter, Stripe

You might be a fit if you…

  • Have 3+ years full-stack experience (or equivalent: you’ve shipped + owned serious systems)
  • Are strong at debugging + data + production reliability
  • Have data scrapping experience & general data analytics experience
  • Have CSS, Tailwind, and responsive styling capabilities
  • Can operate independently, communicate clearly, and document as you go
  • Enjoy building product and building the systems that keep it from breaking
  • Bonus: You like marketplaces, payments, or Pokémon/collectibles

Logistics

  • Location: In-person NYC (Midtown)
  • Type: Full-time
  • Comp: $140k-200k, 0.25%-1% equity
  • Start: ASAP

How to apply

Send:

  • LinkedIn/GitHub (or anything showing what you’ve built)
  • 1–2 examples of a project you owned end-to-end
  • A note if you have any experience collecting Pokemon / other trading cards!
