About this role
Alt is unlocking the value of alternative assets, starting with the $5 B trading-card market. We let collectors buy, sell, vault, and finance their cards in one place and we are backed by leaders at Stripe, Coinbase, Seven Seven Six, and pro athletes like Tom Brady and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Our next frontier is real-time pricing at scale—the Alt Value that powers every trade, loan, and product on the platform.
THE ROLE
The last ten seconds of an auction are the whole product. Hundreds of people who have been watching one card for a week all arrive at once, every one of them refreshing, every one of them bidding.
That's this job. You build and scale the high-concurrency bidding and listing systems behind nine figures of annual GMV, and you build the surfaces on top of them.…
