Job description

Collectors is the leading creator of innovative technology that provides value-added services for collectors worldwide. We grade, authenticate, vault, and sell millions of record-setting collectibles, all while modernizing and digitalizing the process to further our mission of helping collectors pursue their passions. We’re always on the lookout for talented people to join our growing team.

Our services span collectible trading cards, autographs, comic books, coins, video games, event tickets, and memorabilia. Our subsidiaries include PSA, PCGS, Beckett, SGC, and Card Ladder.

Since our founding in 1986, we have graded and authenticated millions of items. We employ more than 3000 people across our headquarters in Santa Ana, California and offices in New Jersey, Texas, Florida, Japan, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Canada, Mexico, Germany, and France.

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.

About The Role

Our Customer Experience engineering teams build the digital products and platforms that connect collectors with the services and experiences that matter most to them. Across web and mobile surfaces, these teams create intuitive, reliable, and scalable customer‑facing experiences that support discovery, submissions, order tracking, account management, collecting, and marketplace interactions. Teams work closely with product, design, data, and platform partners to deliver high‑quality software that improves the collector journey end to end, while balancing speed, craftsmanship, and long‑term maintainability.

We are looking for a Senior Front‑End Software Engineer who is passionate about building polished, performant, and user‑centered experiences at scale. This person has strong expertise in modern front‑end development, brings sound engineering judgment, and can independently drive complex work from concept through delivery. They care deeply about code quality, usability, and maintainable architecture, and they collaborate effectively across engineering, product, and design to solve meaningful customer problems. The ideal candidate is comfortable navigating ambiguity, improving systems as they go, and raising the bar for technical execution across the team.

We believe there is significant value in onsite partnership and team collaboration, and candidates within 1‑hour commuting distance of the office may be expected to work onsite most of the time. Additional details will be discussed during the recruiting process.

What You’ll Do

• Participate across the entire software development lifecycle, taking features from concept to production release
• Lead frontend application development using Javascript, Typescript, React, Svelte and NextJS to deliver seamless end‑to‑end experiences
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and partner teams to translate business requirements into clean technical designs across both backend and frontend systems
• Troubleshoot data, integration, service, and UI issues across a large distributed codebase
• Develop and execute unit and integration tests
• Contribute to technical documentation to improve maintainability, knowledge sharing, and team velocity
• Leverage AI tooling, with a preference for Claude, to accelerate software design, architecture, and implementation while maintaining strong engineering judgment and code quality

Who You Are

• 5+ years of software engineering experience building consumer facing web applications
• 4+ years of experience / strong proficiency in React and Next.js
• Experience with Svelte is a plus
• Fluent in TypeScript, JavaScript and not afraid to take on other new technologies
• Experience with Tailwind CSS
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities
• Proficient at using appropriate security, testing, documentation, and/or monitoring best practices
• Familiar with Agile/Scrum methodologies
• Comfortable using AI tooling, preferably Claude, to support solution design, and software implementation in day‑to‑day engineering work
