Job Summary

We are seeking a Software Engineer II with solid TypeScript and React Native experience to join our Sweat & Lineups team. In this role, you will independently deliver features and improvements to PrizePicks’ React Native mobile application — My Entries, Early Payout, and anything Sweat experience! You will work with increasing autonomy, contributing to technical design discussions and producing reliable, well-tested code with minimal oversight. This is a role for someone ready to take ownership of meaningful work on a mobile app used by millions.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver features independently: Own the implementation of small-to-medium features in the React Native app from design through deployment with minimal guidance.
• Write production-quality code: Produce well-tested, maintainable TypeScript code that meets team standards for quality, performance, and user experience.
• Contribute to technical design: Participate in design discussions for team features, offering informed opinions on component architecture, state management, and UI patterns.
• Improve app quality: Identify and fix bugs, address technical debt, and improve performance and accessibility in the features you work on.
• Review code thoughtfully: Provide constructive, thorough feedback in code reviews that helps teammates improve and maintains codebase quality.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with Product Managers and Designers to refine requirements and ensure implementations match design intent and product goals.
• Participate in on-call rotation: Respond to production incidents, contribute to resolution, and help document learnings for the team.
• Share knowledge: Document your work and share context through team discussions, making it easier for others to understand and build on your contributions.

What You Have

• 2–3 years of professional software engineering experience
• History of delivering features within a software team to drive business outcomes

Technical Skills

• Intermediate to advanced proficiency in TypeScript, with experience building React or React Native applications
• Solid understanding of component-based architecture, state management, and navigation patterns
• Experience with CSS/styled-components and responsive mobile layouts
• Familiarity with Jest for unit and component testing, and exposure to Maestro or similar E2E testing frameworks
• Experience with Git-based workflows and code review processes
• Understanding of RESTful API consumption and data fetching patterns

Working Style

• Self-directed — you can take a well-scoped task and deliver it without needing step-by-step guidance
• Proactive communicator who surfaces blockers and shares progress in a remote environment
• Open to feedback and committed to continuous improvement
• Foster a strong team environment, we enjoy team happy hours and off-site gatherings to get to know one another

What Makes You Stand Out

• Experience using AI-assisted development tools to accelerate coding workflows
• Prior experience working in a remote engineering team
• Experience building reactive UIs that handle high-frequency data updates (e.g., Live data, Web sockets and real-time player scoring) with minimal performance impact
• A sharp eye for using animations and haptics to signal "critical moments" that enhance the minute to minute gameplay
• Understanding how to build layouts specifically for the "second screen" experience, where users are watching the game and the app during intense moments.
• You enjoy the visualization aspect of the Sweat experience, between building progress bars, live event graphs, and various visual aids that brings the experience to the next level

Where You’ll Live

While we prefer candidates based in Atlanta, we are open to qualified applicants from anywhere in the U.S. and are willing to consider remote candidates. #LI-Remote
