• 5+ years of backend experience (Python, Postgres, AWS or similar cloud infrastructure) and frontend experience (React, React Native, JavaScript/TypeScript) • A track record of owning features or systems from design to production • Strong collaboration and communication skills — you write great docs, ask smart questions, and give thoughtful feedback • A user-first mindset with a sharp eye for clean UX and performance • Bonus: You're familiar with the collectibles space or alternative asset marketplaces • What You’ll Get From Us: • A seat at the table to help shape the future of Alt and the alternative asset space • Autonomy and ownership on projects that matter • 100% remote working environment • $100/month work-from-home stipend • $200/month wellness stipend • WeWork office stipend • 401(k) retirement benefits • Flexible vacation policy • Generous paid parental leave • Competitive healthcare benefits, including HSA, for you and your dependent(s) • Base salary range: $140,000-$180,000, plus equity.

Responsibilities
• Automate the vault pipeline: Drastically reduce the time from item received to live on platform — building intake automation, scan orchestration, and quality-control tooling. • Expand beyond cards: Design and build ingestion, grading, and pricing workflows for non-card asset classes (watches, art, sealed wax) so Alt Values appear the moment items are vaulted. • Build Vault-as-a-Service: Architect the account infrastructure, billing, and APIs that let enterprise partners programmatically vault, ship, and manage assets at scale. • Ship the digitization stack: Optimize card imaging, lighting pipelines, and help turn static front/back photos into 360-degree views for digital repackers. • Own the full stack: Take features from technical design through polished UI — Vault touches real-world operations, and the product surfaces need to be as sharp as the backend. • Be a multiplier: Level up the growing Vault team through code reviews, technical documentation, and mentorship. • This is a perfect fit if you… • Think like a business owner: You don't just ship code — you understand P&Ls, SLAs, and what it takes to run a product as an independent business unit. • Are excited about Alt specifically: You're drawn to alternative assets, collectibles, or the idea of building real-world infrastructure for physical goods — not just another SaaS CRUD app. • Love operational complexity: You're energized by problems that bridge software and the physical world — logistics, imaging, asset handling, and partner integrations. • Are pragmatic and fast: You know when to build custom and when to integrate, and you bias toward action.
