Job description

  • Build and optimize slick, highly responsive frontend analytics interfaces using React.
  • Design resilient, high-performance backend APIs and microservices in Node.js, TypeScript, and Python.

Databricks Integration

  • Partner with Data Science to connect our app to Databricks Jobs, Workflows, and ML pipelines.
  • Build backend services that trigger, monitor, and consume data directly from our Lakehouse architecture (Delta tables).

Cloud & Platform Architecture

  • Own and optimize our AWS footprint (ECS, Lambda, S3, RDS, CloudWatch) to ensure extreme reliability.
  • Maintain clean CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments using Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Architect core cross-cutting concerns: logging, auth, error handling, and performance tuning.

Requirements

Do you have experience in TypeScript?, Do you have a Bachelor’s degree?, Are you passionate about building clean, scalable software? Do you thrive in an early-stage startup where your code directly shapes the product’s direction?, * Experience: 5+ years of professional full-stack software engineering experience (ideally in a fast-paced startup environment).

  • The Stack: Strong, production-proven proficiency with Node.js, TypeScript, React, and SQL.
  • Cloud & DevOps: Hands-on experience architecting AWS infrastructure and managing containerized apps (Docker/K8s).
  • AI Native: Active experience using tools like Cursor or Claude Code inside a production workflow. You can demonstrate how you use AI to move faster without sacrificing quality.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with Databricks Unity Catalog, SQL Warehouses, or Databricks APIs.
  • A solid understanding of data lakehouse architectures (Bronze/Silver/Gold tiers).
  • A genuine passion for sports, analytics, or data-driven software.

Benefits & conditions

$100,000 - $125,000 a year - Full-time, * Compensation: $100,000 - $120,000 Base + Equity + Benefits (Triggered upon completion of our current $5M Round 2 Capital Raise; Equity + Occasional cash stipends provided upon joining)., Transparency is our core value. We are currently preparing to close our $5M second-round funding.

  • Phase 1 (Now): You will receive meaningful equity ownership from day one alongside occasional cash stipends.
  • Phase 2 (Post-Funding): You will transition immediately to your full base salary ($100k-$120k), equity performance bonuses, and full benefits.

If you are energized by the sweat-equity phase of a startup and want true ownership, this is your sandbox.

How We Work: AI-First Engineering

At SportsBiz, AI isn’t a tool you reach for occasionally-it’s a core team member. We expect our engineers to deeply integrate AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) into their daily workflow.

This doesn’t mean a lower bar for engineering; it means a higher one. We aren’t looking for code-copy-pasters. We want elite engineers who know exactly when to lean on AI to eliminate boilerplate and accelerate development, and exactly when to override it because human architectural intuition is required. You will spend less time on mundane syntax and more time solving the complex data problems that actually move the needle., * Day-One Equity: Real ownership in a platform disrupting a massive industry.

  • 100% Remote & Flexible: Work from anywhere with a schedule built around async productivity.
  • Rapid Career Growth: As an early engineer, your trajectory scales directly with the company.

Comprehensive Benefits: Health insurance and performance bonuses unlock immediately post-funding.
