Build a Consumer Web Product From 0→1

We are looking for a Senior Fullstack Software Engineer to build the web platform for Rips, our fast-growing collectibles trading card app. You’ll own major parts of the web stack, establish frontend standards, and ship a polished consumer product from the ground up.

This is a high-agency, product-focused role for an engineer who can move quickly, make strong technical decisions, and turn designs into exceptional user experiences.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and launch the Rips web experience from 0→1.
  • Own frontend architecture, standards, and best practices using React + TypeScript.
  • Build polished, responsive interfaces with animations, motion, and micro-interactions.
  • Partner with backend engineers on APIs, data models, and performance.
  • Own internal tools and dashboards that improve operational efficiency and decision-making.
  • Help establish the foundation for future web, Android, and React Native products.

What We’re Looking For

Required:

  • 5+ years of fullstack/web engineering experience.
  • Deep expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript.
  • Shipped a 0→1 consumer web product at a startup — this is a dealbreaker.
  • Experience owning frontend architecture/platform standards for a consumer-facing product.
  • Strong product sense and ability to independently translate Figma designs into pixel-perfect, production-quality UI.
  • Experience building performant, responsive interfaces with motion/animation.
  • Ability to self-prioritize, make decisions, and ship quickly in an ambiguous startup environment.
  • Willingness to work on-site in San Francisco 5 days/week.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with real-time features, payments, marketplaces, gaming, or collectibles.
  • React Native/mobile experience.
  • Experience collaborating on API design and data modeling.

Important

This role is not a fit for candidates whose experience is primarily large-scale Big Tech, B2B enterprise, or healthcare software without demonstrated 0→1 consumer startup product ownership.
