Job Overview

This position is a fixed-term role scheduled to run from June through December 2026, with the possibility of extension based on business needs.

THE·TEAM is seeking a dynamic and passionate Senior Software Engineer (SE) with the Global Insights, Innovation team – a small, collaborative group responsible for building and evolving proprietary products that power THE·TEAM’s brands, talent, and properties businesses.

Global Insights sits at the center of THE·TEAM’s business, leading performance measurement, audience intelligence, and custom research and analytics that power insight‑driven client strategies. The Innovation Team – within Global Insights – operates to unlock the potential of THE·TEAM’s data, extending it into impactful products, workflows, and AI solutions that bridge systems with real‑world business impact.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Innovation Team, you will lead the development of new products and capabilities while helping evolve and maintain existing solutions. You will partner closely with other Senior Software Engineers (SSE), Product Managers, Analysts, and Product Success teams to translate shared product vision and business needs into well‑scoped, production‑ready technical implementations. This role is ideal for an engineer who values collaboration and enjoys building on a strong technical foundation. Full‑stack development experience in Elixir Phoenix or an equivalent framework, and the ability to integrate AI‑assisted development workflows, is preferred. For engineers passionate about sports and entertainment, this is an opportunity to shape how technology drives the industry.

What You’ll Do

• Collaborate closely with SSEs to extend and apply a growing core data and platform architecture, helping bring new product ideas and capabilities to life.
• Build, enhance, and maintain software product and internal tools – from early experimentation through production‑ready implementation.
• Assist in shaping and testing AI‑first development workflows and product features.
• Partner with Product Managers, Analysts, and Product Success to translate product requirements into efficient technical solutions.
• Support experimentation and iteration within current environments, balancing speed with maintainability.
• Help improve and evolve existing tech stack and database/data warehouse, identifying opportunities for optimization and scalability.
• Engage with broader internal stakeholders and leadership to support product goals and business initiatives.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or equivalent) with minimum 8 years of experience.
• Thrive working in a ‘start‑up’ environment that moves at a fast pace, with a significant amount of autonomy in terms of structuring, building and delivering products and support.
• A developer who takes interest in both architecting/building products and collaborating across internal and externals teams.
• Passionate about developing products (with a focus on the end‑user), and skilled in architecting products with an eye for flexibility and extensibility for future iterations.
• Curiosity for the entire THE·TEAM business and how technology and products can impact it.
• A ‘do‑er’ who is excited by new and undefined challenges/problems that require creative solutions – and can create the plan and structure to get it done.
• Possess exceptional written and oral communication skills.

What We Offer

• Professional Development: Take advantage of our learning and development programs, mentorship opportunities, and career advancement support.
• Generous Time Off: Enjoy generous paid time off and holiday allowances to recharge and spend time with loved ones.
• Parental Leave: We provide paid parental leave to support your family during important life events.
• Retirement Plan: 401k plan including contribution matching.
• Healthcare: Medical, HSA coverage options.
