## Description

We are developing an internal Athlete Management System (AMS) that will transform how we track training sessions, player assessments, performance metrics, injury history, and long-term athlete development trends.
To support the buildout, we're seeking a part-time Software Engineer with genuine interest in both technology and sports performance.
Role Overview
You will collaborate with our leadership and coaching staff to design and build foundational components of our athlete management system. This includes backend features, database schemas, analytics tooling, workflow automation, and clean internal dashboards.
Because much of our methodology is proprietary, an NDA is required before discussing system details.
What You'll Do
Build core components of the Athlete Management System (backend, workflows, tooling)
Create clean, scalable backend logic and well-structured data models
Integrate modules for training sessions, lessons, assessments, and injury tracking
Assist with data organization and internal reporting dashboards
Translate coaching workflows into technical requirements
Maintain documentation and assist with system architecture decisions
Help identify patterns or growth opportunities through collected performance data
Work roughly 9 hours per week with flexibility
