Rare Candy is a fast-growing marketplace platform revolutionizing the $25 billion trading-card industry. The company has achieved 10x revenue growth over the last 6 months, is profitable, and operates as an AI-powered platform where collectors scan cards, open digital packs (Instapacks), and manage collections across Pokémon, MTG, Lorcana, One Piece, and more. The team is a 10-person product group moving quickly to scale from a strong product to a category-defining platform.
You will join as a Fullstack Developer reporting to the CTO, building and maintaining the operations toolchain that powers the warehouse, inventory management, and Instapack business. This is a hands-on product engineering role focused on solving logistics problems and shipping features directly used by the operations team.
Key responsibilities include:
- Building and improving the Ops toolchain to support the warehouse and logistics team
- Fixing bugs, improving bottlenecks, and raising quality standards for internal tools
- Working closely with ops and engineering teams to increase efficiency and solve hard problems
- Learning quickly, asking clarifying questions, and communicating clearly about blockers and readiness for review
- Pairing with other engineers on backend service improvements and feature development
- Shipping features that directly impact business-critical operations
Success milestones: By day 30, you'll have the ops tools running locally and ship your first meaningful fixes. By day 90, you'll regularly ship features with CTO support and own well-scoped improvements. By year one, you'll be the main point of contact for critical Instapack business systems, have shipped meaningful improvements, and earned ownership of increasingly business-critical items.
The role emphasizes hands-on problem-solving, ownership, and working in a fast-moving startup where priorities shift and you're expected to figure things out and iterate. You'll have mentorship from experienced engineering leadership and see your work directly impact passionate collectors.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 3-5 years of fullstack development experience with Go
- Comfortable building with React or other React frameworks
- Experience with GraphQL or sufficient API experience to ramp quickly
- Care about product quality and user experience details
- Experience building internal tools and understanding customer needs
- Comfortable in fast-moving startups with shifting priorities
- Knowledge of or passion for trading-card or collector communities (collecting, playing, following markets, or similar collectible fluency)
- Ability to take ownership and drive your own growth with support and mentorship
- Curious, detail-oriented, and comfortable learning by doing
