Senior Software Engineer, Vault

About this role

## The Role

We're building Alt Vault into a standalone $100M+ 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.

The metric: time from item received to live on platform. Drive it down, and keep driving it down as the asset classes multiply.

This is software that touches the physical world, which means it fails in physical ways.. If you like operational complexity, if you think in P&Ls and SLAs rather than just tickets, and if the phrase "nobody has built this yet" reads as an opportunity rather than a risk, this is the seat.

## What You'll Own:

• **The vault pipeline, automated.** Drastically reduce the time from item received to live on platform: intake automation, scan orchestration, and the quality-control tooling that catches a mis-scan before a customer does. If an item is mis-recorded, that isn't a data problem. That's someone's asset and someone's trust.
• **Vault-as-a-Service.** Architect the account infrastructure, billing, and external APIs that let enterprise partners vault, ship, and manage assets programmatically. External partners behave unpredictably; the API has to hold anyway.
• **The digitization stack.** Optimize card imaging and lighting pipelines, and help turn static front-and-back photos into 360-degree views for digital repackers.
• **The full stack, not half of it.** 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. This is not a backend seat with a frontend disclaimer.
• **The team behind you.** Level up a growing Vault team through code reviews, technical documentation, and mentorship.
