This is one of the most interesting companies we have ever seen and THE biggest VCs in the US think so too.
This venture-backed startup is building a new kind of marketplace for collectables. It combines the thrill of opening a pack with full transparency: published odds, live market pricing and results nobody can change after purchase.
It launched to an invite-only community a month ago and has already processed thousands of sales and six-figure transaction volume, with some of the worlds biggest trading card sellers already on board. The longer-term goal is trusted infrastructure for pricing, storing and trading collectables (art, watches, cars) as a genuine asset class.
The role
You'll be the first and sole Frontend engineering hire, owning everything users see and touch. The goal is a marketplace that never lags, a reveal that feels instant and numbers users understand at a glance.
You'll work directly with the technical co-founder (quant background, product, backend and pricing), alongside a motion designer and a design agency. You'll set the frontend architecture, ship every week and kick-start the mobile app.
What you'll work on
The reveal:
making a server-decided outcome feel instant, with motion, suspense and sound
The catalogue:
thousands of high-resolution card images that load fast on a mid-range phone
Live pricing:
market prices and odds updating in real time, plus portfolio charts
Money flows:
checkout, buyback and payouts that never show a wrong number
Seller tools:
a pack builder that power users live in
Mobile:




a design system that carries through to a cross-platform app
AI:
tooling and agents built into how the team builds
About you
You live frontend:
deep TypeScript and React, and you go deep rather than wide
You have an eye for design
and notice a dropped frame or an off colour before anyone else
You've built consumer products
, marketplaces or live commerce where the details matter
You measure performance:
profiling, testing and load testing, with numbers before and after
You have a portfolio
or work you can show
You ship fast without dropping quality
, and you think about what could go wrong for the customer
You use AI heavily and thoughtfully
. It does your typing, not your thinking.
*Trajectory matters more than years of experience. If you learn fast, set ambitious targets and hold solid opinions loosely, we want to hear from you.
