Collectors use our AI-powered card scanner, open their favorite chase cards with Instapacks, and keep track of them with our data-rich collection tools which showcases Pokémon, MTG, Lorcana, One Piece, and more. We've hit 10x revenue growth over the last 6 months, the business is profitable, and we're building the team to take this from a great product to a category-defining one.\n\nWe're a 10-person product team moving fast and looking for the next set of TCG-obsessed rock stars to join our team.\n\nThe Role\n\nWe're hiring a Fullstack Developer to help build the operations toolchain we use every day to manage our warehouse, inventory, and managing our Instapacks business.\n\nYou'll work closely with the CTO and engineering team to ship new tools and features for our operations team. This is a hands-on product engineering role for someone who loves solving logistic problems, has a background in GO and React, and wants to grow quickly inside a fast-moving startup.\n\nYou won't be handed endless tickets in a giant backlog. You'll work on real problems, learn from phenomenal backend engineers, and see your work go directly into the hands of passionate collectors.\n\nIf you love trading cards or collector communities, this is a role for you.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\n\nFirst 30 days: You get the various ops tools running locally, understand the core problems, and ship your first meaningful fixes or small features.\n\nBy day 90: You're regularly shipping features for our Ops team with support from the CTO and principal engineer. You can take a well-scoped feature or improvement, ask the right questions, implement it cleanly, test it, and get it into the team's hands.\n\nBy the end of year one: You've become the main point of contact for the most important part of our Instapack business. You've shipped meaningful improvements to our Ops toolchain, grown your Go and React craft, and earned ownership over increasingly business critical items.\n\nWhat You'll Do\n\nBuild and improve our Ops toolchain to help support our entire Warehouse and Logistics team.\n\nFix bugs, improve bottlenecks, and raise the quality bar for Ops toolchain.\n\nWork closely with ops and engineering to increase efficiency to hard problems.\n\nLearn quickly, ask good questions, and communicate clearly when something is blocked, unclear, or ready for review.\n\nA Day in Your Life at Rare Candy\n\nYou start the morning checking in with the warehouse team and reviewing feedback on a feature you shipped yesterday.\n\nMid-morning, you're pairing with other engineers on making improvements on various backend services.\n\nAfter lunch, you're tightening up a dashboard, fixing an edge case, and testing the flow against real time operations.\n\nLater in the day, you're in an operations discussion about how we want to launch a new game for Instapacks and how our toolchain needs to support it.\n\nYou close the day by opening a PR with a clear summary, and a note about what still needs review.\n\nYou Might Be a Fit If\n\nYou have around 3-5 years of fullstack development experience with Go.\n\nYou're comfortable building with React or other React frameworks.\n\nYou've worked with GraphQL, or you have enough API experience to ramp quickly.\n\nYou care about product quality and the little details that make tools easy to use and feel good.\n\nYou have experience building internal tools and understand the importance of understanding the customer to build the right thing.\n\nYou're comfortable in a fast-moving startup where priorities can shift and the best answer is often “figure it out, then make it better.”\n\nYou know the trading-card or collector world. You collect, play, rip packs, follow the market, or have real fluency in a similar collectible space.\n\nWhat You'll Need to Thrive Here\n\nYou’re expected to take ownership of your role at Rare Candy and drive your own growth. That doesn’t mean doing it alone. You’ll have support, context, and mentorship along the way.\n\nThe systems are still evolving, the team is small, and your work will matter immediately. You'll need to be curious, detail-oriented, and comfortable learning by doing.\n\nIf you like to build internal tools, solve operational issues, and the idea of building tools you would actually want to use yourself, you'll do great here.\n\nWhy Join Us Now\n\nWork on features collectors actually care about and are using everyday.\n\nGet real ownership early in your career while learning directly from experienced engineering leadership.\n\nJoin a high-trust, low-ego team that ships fast, celebrates wins, and cares deeply about the hobby.\n\nCompetitive startup comp, meaningful equity upside, and a salary range of $140,000-$160,000.\n\nFull benefits: health, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), and a wellness stipend.\n\nA monthly dogfooding budget to spend on cards, because we hire people who love this hobby.\n\nHow to Apply\n\nApply through our Ashby posting and answer these:\n\nDescribe an internal tool you built. What did you own, what technical choices did you make, and what was the result?\n\nExplain a bug you debugged. What made it tricky, how did you track it down, and what did you learn?\n\nWhat trading-card or collector communities do you understand best? Tell us your favorite card, set, format, deck, rip, or collector niche.\n\nRare Candy is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate individuality, from Pikachu collectors to Planeswalker pros, and are committed to building an inclusive team.","company":"Rare Candy","rawCompany":"rare candy","city":"Dallas","state":"TX","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-09-25T09:37:08.824Z","occupations":[{"code":"15-1252.00","title":"Software Developers","slug":"software-developers"},{"code":"15-1254.00","title":"Web Developers","slug":"web-developers"},{"code":"15-1299.08","title":"Computer Systems Engineers/Architects","slug":"computer-systems-engineers-architects"}],"industries":[{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"},{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"},{"code":"541512","title":"Computer Systems Design Services","slug":"computer-systems-design-services"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Fullstack Developer","description":"Fullstack Developer\n\nLocation: Dallas, TX\nCompensation: $140,000-$160,000, competitive startup comp, and meaningful equity upside\nDepartment: Engineering\nReports to: CTO\n\nAbout Rare Candy\n\nRare Candy is revolutionizing the $25 billion trading-card industry as the “friendly local game shop” in the palm of your hands.
