You'll own the customer-facing storefront end to end: catalog, search, cart, checkout, account management, and the buying and selling experiences that serve Magic players worldwide. You'll build great teams and great software: a player/coach who is equal parts hands-on technologist, delivery leader, and people manager. Your team is full-stack with a front-end heart. We run PHP/Laravel services over MySQL and Elasticsearch, behind modern JavaScript/TypeScript front-ends — and we care deeply about polished, responsive, accessible experiences that perform on every device. Site speed, SEO, and a frictionless path from search to checkout are business outcomes here, not afterthoughts: when cardkingdom.com is fast and reliable, the business grows. You'll stay close to the work — reviewing designs, pairing on hard problems, digging into production issues alongside the team, and occasionally writing code — always in service of teaching and raising the bar. You'll partner closely with our Principal Engineer(s), who set technical direction, and you'll champion consistency and alignment across the team's solutions rather than letting one-off approaches accumulate. Above all, you'll own predictable delivery against the roadmap: taking large, ambiguous initiatives, breaking them into incrementally shippable pieces, driving honest estimation even when information is incomplete, and leading your team to deliver reliably — quarter after quarter. You don't need to play Magic: The Gathering to thrive here. But if you've ever sleeved a deck, chased down the last card for a Commander build, or just love serving a passionate community of enthusiasts — you'll feel right at home.
