Founding Full Stack Engineer

Founding Full Stack Engineer — Product & Marketplace

Misprint is a YC-backed marketplace for Pokémon cards; think StockX for collectibles, built around real-time pricing, liquidity, transparency, and trust.

We're growing fast and building the category-defining marketplace for one of the largest collectible markets in the world. Pokémon cards are a massive, highly liquid, global market, but buying and selling them is still fragmented, opaque, and full of friction. Misprint is changing that with live market data, a real bid/ask system, better seller tooling, and a much more trustworthy collector experience.

We're now hiring a Founding Full Stack Engineer to help us move faster on product. This is a high-ownership role focused on building customer-facing marketplace features, seller tools, buyer experiences, frontend polish, and the full-stack systems that support them.

You'll work directly with the founders and engineering team to ship features across the marketplace, improve UX, and help turn Misprint into the default place collectors buy and sell Pokémon cards.

What You'll Do

You'll work across frontend, backend, and product to build and improve:

• Buyer and seller experiences across the marketplace
• Listing creation, seller onboarding, inventory tools, bids, asks, offers, checkout, and order flows
• Marketplace search, filters, card detail pages, collection/watchlist experiences, and pricing data displays
• Mobile-responsive UX, frontend polish, and React Native app improvements across core user journeys
• Admin and internal tools that help support/ops resolve customer issues faster
• Backend APIs, database models, permissions, scripts, and automation
• Integrations with payments, shipping, catalog, inventory, and analytics tools
• Work with product, growth, and lifecycle teammates to ship experiments that improve activation, conversion, retention, repeat purchase behavior, and marketplace liquidity

What Success Looks Like In Your First 60–90 Days

• You've shipped meaningful improvements to core buyer or seller flows
• You understand our product, users, and marketplace mechanics well enough to propose improvements
• You've taken ownership of at least one major feature or product area
• You're comfortable moving between frontend, backend, and database work
• You're helping us move faster without creating fragile systems
• The product feels better because of the details you notice and fix
