Job description

Overview

Online sports betting content is exploding in popularity. The experience of engaging with sports betting content is often a needlessly painful one. The experience is scattered across countless apps, with expert sports handicappers ("cappers") building an audience on social media, fans chasing for an edge across different platforms and tools, and everyone looking for better results with less effort. Trust is fragile, workflows are fragmented, and the experience feels more like chaos than community.

DubClub is building the destination where cappers and fans Win More Together.

Responsibilities

Partner with customer-facing “co-pilots” (founders and GTM leaders) to define roadmap and deliver value for DubClub's users.
Lead design and development of full-stack product features in the mobile and web app.
Balance speed, scope, and maintainability to deliver near-term immediate impact, while keeping long-term scalability in mind.
Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and architectural guidance to other engineers.
Collaborate with GTM leaders and design talent to implement intuitive, reliable, and valuable user experiences.

About You

Based in, or willing to relocate to, Chicago.
6–10+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in startups/scaleups.
Proven track record of shipping impactful features across the stack.
Passionate about technology and adding value for users through elegant, beautiful product. You thrive on building practical solutions that people love to use as part of their everyday routine. You build in an "AI-first" fashion that allows you to ship faster, at higher quality.
Strong technical judgment: you know when to optimize, when to cut scope, and when to refactor.
Excellent communicator and collaborator, especially with non-technical teammates.
Excited about the sports betting space and eager to shape the future of how creators and fans interact.
Bonus: experience in marketplaces, fintech, or consumer-facing products.

Our Stack

Backend: Python (Django) and Go, with PostgreSQL for data storage.
Frontend: TypeScript and Svelte.
Mobile: ReactNative.
Infrastructure: Docker, GitHub Actions for CI/CD, and Terraform.

Why DubClub

Senior IC seat with ownership and leadership opportunities.
In-person collaboration with DubClub's co-founder and CEO in Chicago.
Ship frequently to a passionate user base that notices and celebrates every new feature.
Competitive salary, meaningful equity, and benefits.

We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of any status protected under federal, state, or local law.
