Role

Who you are

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology or a related field, or a combination of education and experience
7+ years of software development experience
Experience with large-scale microservice application development, including experience with decomposing monolithic applications
Experience working with backend OOP languages like C#, Java, Python, C++, etc
Experience with Kafka or similar technologies like RabbitMQ, Apache Pulsar, EventBus, ETC
Expert knowledge of multiple datastore technologies including both RDBMS (PostgreSQL, SQL Server) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Redis)
Experience with Terraform, Helm, GitHub Actions, and K8s
A ship-often mindset and ability to break down requirements into components that can be released rapidly

What the job involves

As a senior level backend engineer you will be independently responsible for the entire development lifecycle of features including the design, implementation and deployment
You will be uplifting legacy applications into a event driven microservice based architecture using the latest and greatest technologies
You will work closely with other development teams to bring a cohesive and intuitive selling experience to our customers across TCGplayer’s suite of tools
You will help design and implement backend services (including microservices, datastores, APIs, and event streams) that will support our next-generation listings, inventory, and price points systems (we’re using C#, .NET Core, Docker, and Kubernetes in AWS)
Ensure that our backend systems are highly performant and scalable to accommodate an ever growing amount of data and load
Work closely with internal teams integrating with our backend systems and ship iterative improvements based on their requirements and feedback
Further decouple our systems from an existing monolithic application

Our take

TCGplayer has established itself as the leading US marketplace for collectible card games like Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! The company has found success through focusing on emphasising the entire customer experience of passionate enthusiasts through multiple community-focused products such as ‘Direct’, a local-store purchasing platform.

Technology has allowed the company to scale at such low-cost that it can facilitate the authentication of more than 100,000 products every day, dramatically improving the experience of enthusiasts used to dealing with scammers. The company has now expanded to serve the wider collectibles market, and in 2022 was acquired by eBay for $295 Million - though it continues to operate its trading-card marketplace autonomously.
