What we are looking for

Intermediate to Senior level experience, with drive, initiative, and a keen interest in TCG's.

Essential expertise:

• TypeScript
• Node.js / Backend experience in a similar runtime
• React,js / Frontend experience in a similar framework

Nice-to-have - no need to tick all the boxes:

• React
• Nextjs
• Tailwind CSS

• UI/UX design
• CSS animations & transitions

Technologies

The platform is full-stack Typescript with our infrastructure in Vercel (AWS serverless). Our client apps are written in Nextjs React and our api's use tRPC. All styling is done via Tailwind. The ORM is Prisma and the database is Planetscale MySQL. The bulk of our code is in a monorepo with shared packages for things like utilities, database access, a UI library, types etc etc. It's a very clean, well documented codebase.

Products and roadmap

The current tech products at this stage are the website (sorcerytcg.com) and the deck builder & collection manager (curiosa.io). We also have a number of smaller products like a public API, a CMS system for our articles and artist profiles, and a QR code booster box authenticity checker and redemption system.

We have several dedicated environments with isolated infrastructure for software and user testing, playtesting cards still in development, building decks, and playing remotely. In addition to general maintenance, work includes feature development on curiosa, platform and stability upgrades, expanding our feature article CMS tooling to integrate our cards and rulebook more deeply into news items, work on integrations, continually evolving our website to feature new sets & upcoming conventions/events, modernizing with animations and transitions, upgrading our admin system to give our support team more control, dashboards for data visibility and trend analysis, introducing a testing suite, as well as some big upcoming projects.

What’s in it for you

You will take part in a journey for a highly unique project (especially cool for us TCG nerds). The fast growth and focus on high quality products by Erik's Curiosa ensures that you'll operate at a high level and every challenge will be a new one.
