About Our Team & Culture 

Have you ever wondered how baseball cards get made? Even better, how would you like to shape the way it happens for the future? 

If you love sports, entertainment, and all things creative–this is a role unlike any other. We’re revolutionizing how design, AI, manufacturing, and photography come together to build real-world products that span the globe and bring smiles to millions of collectors– young and old. 

At Fanatics Collectibles Technology (FC Tech), our people are at the top of their game —or on their way to get there. We are smart, kind, and highly skilled, bringing an extraordinary range of technologies, approaches, and creative problem-solving to the table to build the next generation of collectible products. 

We believe in context, not control—trusting each other to do the best work possible while achieving our shared objectives. We are distributed across multiple countries and time zones, and we embrace communication, clarity, and candor to collaborate seamlessly. To put it simply, we have fun building things that are actually fun to talk about at dinner parties or awkward school functions. 

Our team is comfortable with uncertainty and change—we thrive in new business sectors, adapt to innovative business models, and take on novel product concepts with confidence. We get our hands dirty, take brave and thoughtful risks, and take full ownership of our work. And most importantly? We support each other, we challenge each other, and we celebrate each other’s successes. 

If this sounds like your kind of team, we’d love for you to join us.
