## About the role

We're building Alt Vault into a standalone business, and you are its founding engineer. That means automating intake, scan orchestration, and quality control so items go live fast. It means extending the whole system beyond trading cards. And it means shipping Vault-as-a-Service — the account infrastructure, billing, and APIs that let enterprise partners programmatically vault, ship, and manage assets at scale.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of backend experience (Python, Postgres, AWS or similar cloud infrastructure) and frontend experience (React, React Native, JavaScript/TypeScript). Both halves are load-bearing here
- A track record of owning features or systems from design to production. Design doc through shipped UI, not a ticket you closed
- Business-owner thinking. You understand P&Ls, SLAs, and what it takes to run a product as an independent business unit — not just ship code inside one
- A pull toward operational complexity. You're energized by problems that bridge software and the physical world: logistics, imaging, asset handling, partner integrations
- Pragmatism and pace. You know when to build custom and when to integrate, and you bias toward action
- Strong collaboration and communication. You write great docs, ask smart questions, and give thoughtful feedback
