Job description

The fastest-growing sports gaming company – ever.

We build innovative games, products, and experiences for American sports fans.

We’re here to shake up the fastest growing industry with bold ideas, custom-built tech, and the drive to win.

Founded in 2020, our team has built four of today’s most widely played fantasy games and launched the Underdog Sportsbook – built entirely in-house with our own technology. That means we control our product, move fast, and create experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

In just over two years, we’ve reached over a $1.2 billion valuation, with investors like BlackRock, Spark Capital, SV Angel, Mark Cuban, Kevin Durant, and Adam Schefter. And we’re just getting started.

At Underdog, we believe that sports are for everyone. Join us.

What you’ll do:

• Write efficient, maintainable, well-structured code in various languages (including, but not limited to: Typescript, Ruby, GoLang).
• Work with many web application frameworks such as Next.JS, Ruby on Rails, Express, etc.
• Design, develop and integrate automation solutions that minimize manual efforts and increase productivity around build, deploy, observability, test automation, and compliance.
• Build and maintain APIs for our internal tools that integrate with GitHub, Jira, Slack, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, DataDog, Helm, ArgoCD, etc.
• Build and maintain frontend applications.
• Help evaluate and evangelize solutions that improve our software development lifecycle.
• Document the systems you help build, monitor, and maintain.
• Coordinate efforts across product engineering, infrastructure and technical compliance teams.

Who you are:

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a passion for developer productivity engineering and internal tools.
• Experience working with multiple web application frameworks, full stack development, containerized applications and CI/CD.
• A strong written and verbal communicator.
• Collaborative by nature, and passionate about fostering best practices for the betterment of the team.
• Driven to enhance the platform's performance and scalability.
• Eager to test, track, and document your work.
• A top-level problem solver who’s comfortable ideating and implementing solutions suggested by the team.
• Experienced with relational databases (Postgres) and event-driven systems (Kafka).
• Familiar with React, Mobile native application development, and containerized infrastructures.
• Actively leveraging the capabilities of AI to augment abilities and gain knowledge about interested domains.

Our target starting base salary range for this position is between $150,000 and $180,000, plus target equity. The starting base salary will depend on a number of factors including the candidate’s skills and experience, among other things.

What we can offer you:

• Unlimited PTO (we're extremely flexible with the exception of the first few weeks before & into the NFL season).
• 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave.
• A $500 home office allowance.
• A connected virtual first culture with a highly engaged distributed workforce.
• 5% 401k match, FSA, company paid health, dental, vision plan options for employees and dependents.

This position may require sports betting licensure based on certain state regulations.
