You’ll investigate operational issues, improve workflows, automate repetitive processes, and build capabilities that make our teams more efficient and our customer experiences more reliable.\nYou’ll partner closely with engineers, product managers, and Marketplace Operations teams to understand operational challenges and translate them into scalable technical solutions.\nThis is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys solving real-world problems, digging into how systems behave in production, and using technology to make complex processes simpler and more effective.\n\nWhat You’ll Do\nDevelop, test, maintain, and improve Android applications and capabilities supporting Fanatics Collect and Marketplace Operations.\nBuild internal tools and technical solutions that help operational teams manage marketplace workflows more efficiently.\nPartner with Marketplace Operations to understand pain points, identify root causes, and translate operational needs into technical solutions.\nInvestigate and resolve application and marketplace issues, including problems that span the Android experience and supporting systems.\nImprove processes through automation, tooling, monitoring, and better access to the information teams need to resolve issues.\nIdentify recurring operational problems and develop solutions that reduce manual effort and prevent issues from repeating.\nDebug production issues using logs, monitoring, analytics, and other diagnostic tools.\nCollaborate with product managers and engineers to determine when an operational issue requires a technical solution, product improvement, or process change.\nWrite maintainable, well-tested code and participate in code reviews with other engineers.\nContribute to the reliability, performance, and maintainability of the Android application.\nParticipate in technical discussions and contribute ideas for improving architecture, tooling, development practices, and operational workflows.\nCreate and maintain documentation that helps engineering and operational teams understand tools, processes, and common issues.\nSupport the implementation and validation of solutions through development, testing, release, and production.\nBalance planned engineering work with operational needs and emerging marketplace issues.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nProfessional software engineering experience with a focus on Android application development.\nExperience developing Android applications using Kotlin and modern Android development practices.\nUnderstanding of Android application architecture, lifecycle, networking, data persistence, and user interface development.\nExperience working with APIs and integrating mobile applications with backend services.\nFamiliarity with software testing, debugging, source control, code review, and modern development workflows.\nAbility to investigate technical issues, identify root causes, and develop practical solutions.\nExperience using logs, monitoring, analytics, or other diagnostic tools to understand application behavior.\nAbility to take ownership of defined technical problems and drive them through resolution.\nSound judgment about when to solve a problem independently and when to engage other engineers or partners.\nStrong collaboration and communication skills, particularly when working with non-engineering partners to understand operational problems.\nAn interest in improving processes and using automation to eliminate repetitive or inefficient work.\nAbility to balance multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment.\nCuriosity about marketplaces, commerce, collectibles, and the systems that support them.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nYou’ll help make Fanatics Collect Marketplace Operations more scalable, reliable, and efficient.\nSuccess in this role means operational teams have better tools to do their jobs, recurring issues become easier to identify and resolve, manual processes are reduced where appropriate, and marketplace problems are translated into durable technical improvements rather than one-time fixes.\nYou’ll develop a strong understanding of how the Collect marketplace operates and use that knowledge to identify where engineering can have the greatest impact.\n\nAbout Fanatics Collect\nFanatics Collect brings multiple parts of the collecting experience together in one marketplace, giving collectors the ability to shop, vault, sell, and break in one place.\nCollectors can browse and purchase collectibles, participate in Buy Now listings and curated auctions, manage vaulted collectibles, track activity such as bids and grading submissions, and access other services supporting their collections.\nAs the marketplace grows, the technology, tools, and operational processes behind these experiences are critical to creating a trusted and seamless experience for collectors.\nEnsure your Fanatics job offer is legitimate and don’t fall victim to fraud.
