As part of our interview process, we request that candidates have their cameras on during video interviews. This helps foster meaningful conversation and allows us to create an experience that closely resembles our standard working environment. Certain interview steps may take place by phone. For remote roles, and at our discretion, candidates may be asked to participate in an on-site interview as part of the final stages of the process.

We understand there may be occasional circumstances requiring accommodation and are happy to discuss them as needed. Your recruiter will be able to clarify expectations and answer any questions you have.

Role Overview

This role leads the software engineering team behind Collectors' vault and fulfillment operations, the systems that securely store, track, and ship some of the world's most valuable collectibles.

As Staff Software Engineering Manager , you will manage a team of WMS developers and software engineers, with ownership and accountability for the warehouse management system (WMS), its integrations, and the vault and fulfillment platforms. Your team owns not only fulfillment workflows but also the vault services that teams across Collectors rely on to submit and withdraw items from the vault. You will own the delivery, technical health, and growth of the team, partnering with product on the roadmap while ensuring the platforms that power physical custody and order fulfillment are reliable, scalable, and continuously improving. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of software and physical operations, and who can raise the bar on engineering execution while developing the engineers and leads around them.

Remote or hybrid candidates will also be considered. We believe that there is significant value in in-person collaboration. If you live within a 1-hour commuting distance to one of our offices, you will be required to be onsite most of the time. This will be discussed further as part of the recruiting process.
