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

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
• If you have any experience collecting Pokemon / other trading cards!
• A short note answering: “Tell us about a messy system you inherited and how you stabilized it.”
