Alt Platform Inc

Alt Platform Inc operates a platform for investing in alternative assets, specifically collectible trading cards. Through its website, alt.xyz, collectors can buy, sell, value and store cards, treating them as liquid, investable holdings rather than curiosities kept in binders. The company targets a trading card market it sizes at $5 billion.

The engineering work spans several distinct domains. A marketplace and auction system handles buying and selling and moves hundreds of millions of dollars in gross merchandise value. Alt Value, a proprietary real-time pricing system, draws on transaction history and market knowledge to produce card valuations, and analyses more than 10 million cards. Alt Lending lets collectors borrow against their holdings without selling them. Two further products round out the offering: Snap to Sell, which simplifies consignment for sellers, and Vault, an insured storage service for high-value cards.

Technical roles therefore touch pricing and valuation systems, data analytics on transaction history, marketplace platform engineering and fintech and lending infrastructure. Alt Platform Inc is remote-first and was named one of the best remote-first places to work in 2021 by Built In. The company is expanding across engineering, product, marketing and operations.
