Misprint: Building the Future of Collectibles Trading 🚀

Misprint is the first-ever transparent, real-time marketplace designed specifically for trading card enthusiasts. Imagine Robinhood meets Pokémon cards—instant, clear, and powered by advanced machine learning.

We’re solving the biggest pain in collectibles today: inefficient, opaque pricing and slow transactions. At Misprint, our tech enables collectors and investors to discover the true, real-time value of their cards, effortlessly list dozens of items with just a single photo, and trade confidently in a dynamic bid/ask marketplace.

Why Join Misprint?

• Market-Changing Impact: We're redefining a massive, fragmented collectibles market by bringing stock-market efficiency to Pokémon cards, sports cards, and beyond.
• Cutting-Edge Tech: Our pricing engine analyzes millions of data points, delivering unmatched accuracy and transparency. Say goodbye to outdated spreadsheets and biased data.
• Speed & Simplicity: Listing cards on Misprint is over 20x faster than competitors, transforming how collectors manage their inventory.

The Team Behind Misprint

• Eva Herget (CEO): A former Goldman Sachs analyst turned Pokémon finance YouTuber who scaled a card-selling side hustle into a $500K ARR business in just 3 months—she's all-in on shiny cardboard.
• Jon (CTO): Mathematician and ML expert who dropped out of his PhD to revolutionize asset pricing through sophisticated algorithms and machine learning.

We’re backed by Y Combinator, passionate about collectibles, and committed to transparency and speed.

Who We're Looking For

If you’re excited about collectibles, fintech, ML-driven products, or marketplace innovation—Misprint is the place to build your career. Join us in transforming how collectors around the globe value and trade their treasures.

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!
