We’re committed to pushing boundaries and leaving our mark as we reinvent the future of ecommerce for enthusiasts.

Our customers are our compass, authenticity thrives, bold ideas are welcome, and everyone can bring their unique selves to work — every day. We're in this together, sustaining the future of our customers, our company, and our planet.

Join a team of passionate thinkers, innovators, and dreamers — and help us connect people and build communities to create economic opportunity for all.

Who We Are

TCGplayer, now a part of eBay, connects hobbyists and hobby businesses: we relentlessly pursue customer-focused innovations to provide the most compelling destination and tools for collectible card game enthusiasts and professional sellers. We’re dedicated to serving the global collectible community – millions of buyers and tens of thousands of retailers – representing a $25B hobby market.

We are looking for a highly collaborative and motivated UX Staff Content Designer to join our UX Research, Strategy & Design team, supporting the success and growth of buyers and sellers around the world. Our mission is to promote a culture of design thinking that results in useful, scalable, engaging and TCGplayer brand-worthy products. We champion a human-centered approach to design, and advocate for our customers as we build alongside Product and Engineering teammates.

You know how to solve complicated business and design problems with deceptively simple words. If you’re enthusiastic about beautiful, user-centered design that is heavily rooted in quantitative data and qualitative insights, and have experience leading content design initiatives across the entire product development lifecycle within a cross-functional team, this is an excellent opportunity! Our team prides itself on a culture that fosters camaraderie, embraces diversity, and exudes passion.
