About The Company

Early-stage B2B SaaS startup revolutionizing the sports tech industry. As a small team rapidly scaling to a dozen full-time employees post-fundraise, we’re seeking a dynamic, high-impact individual to join our mission-driven company as a Senior Full Stack Developer. This role is pivotal to increasing our product velocity.



Role Overview

Drive product development from concept to deployment. Work directly with our CTO and product leadership to build scalable features for professional sports organizations. This is a high-autonomy role where you'll own significant portions of our architecture and directly influence technical direction. You'll join our 3-person engineering team and work across our platform.



Success Looks Like

  • Shipping new/enhanced features each sprint
  • Maintaining <1% crash rate and excellent performance
  • Reducing technical debt through thoughtful refactoring
  • Mentoring team members and elevating engineering practices



Key Responsibilities


Build & Ship

  • Design, develop, and deploy full-stack features across mobile and backend
  • Leverage AI development tools to accelerate development
  • Own features end-to-end from technical design through production monitoring
  • Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code that scales
  • Balance speed with quality and long-term maintainability


Lead & Influence

  • Establish and maintain engineering best practices and coding standards
  • Conduct code reviews and mentor team members
  • Make pragmatic technical decisions, balancing immediate needs with scalability
  • Evaluate and adopt new technologies, including AI tools, MCPs, and emerging frameworks that increase velocity while maintaining quality
  • Champion code quality through testing and automated analysis


Optimize & Scale

  • Design performant systems supporting rapid growth
  • Optimize queries, APIs, and mobile app performance
  • Maintain monitoring and alerting (Sentry, CloudWatch)
  • Debug and resolve production issues quickly

 

Collaborate

  • Partner with the product manager to translate requirements into technical solutions
  • Work with design/frontend on intuitive, responsive interfaces
  • Participate in sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives
  • Document technical decisions and architecture
  • Communicate effectively across time zones



Who You Are


Startup-Ready: You thrive in ambiguity, take ownership end-to-end, bias toward action, and iterate based on feedback rather than seeking perfection.


Technically Strong: You write maintainable code, balance pragmatism with rigor, debug complex issues across the full stack, and stay current with new technologies.


Collaborative: You communicate proactively about progress and blockers, give and receive feedback constructively, work well asynchronously across time zones, and advocate for users.


Growth-Oriented: You're continuously learning, excited about shaping early-stage engineering culture, see challenges as opportunities, and are passionate about sports or eager to become a domain expert.
