About the team and the role:
TCGplayer connects hobbyists and hobby businesses to communities. We relentlessly improve the exchange of things and thoughts that fuel passions, providing the most compelling destination and tools for collectible card game enthusiasts and professional sellers! TCGplayer, now a part of eBay, promotes and drives growth of our products and services by connecting a global community of millions of buyers with tens of thousands of retailers in a $25B global collectible hobby market.
The CORE Platform team at TCGplayer is responsible for Catalog and Order systems that power our marketplace and internal teams' tooling. Data is shared through messaging buses in Kafka, data processing pipelines, and REST APIs hosted in AWS. These include various catalog APIs and Kafka topics to facilitate data sharing when updates occur, and web applications used by our Catalog Operations team to manage our growing collection of collectibles and hobby product information. We are ramping up development on new architectures and evolving our systems, and we are excited to grow the team further!
