A New York based Sports Gambling Tech Startup is looking for a Frontend Leaning Engineer with strong Mobile experience leveraging React & React Native to build out frontend functionality across web & mobile app.
This is a hybrid role, with 4 days per week on site.
Summary:
- A peer-to-peer sports prediction market that recently closed a $6M seed round from top investors and funds.
- Competitive salaries with significant equity ownership and generous benefits.
- Founders are recent graduates with quantitative experience at major financial firms and years of expertise as sports bettors.
- The sports betting market in the US is worth $300B annually and is rapidly growing, particularly through the opportunity for operators to capitalize on the sweepstakes business model.
- Currently, traditional retail sportsbooks are the only way to bet, but they come with high margins, discriminatory practices, and outdated user experiences.
- The platform guarantees the best lines for users by allowing them to play directly against friends or the market, rather than the house, making the wagering experience more efficient, fair, and profitable.
What will you do? As a founding frontend engineer, you will be primarily responsible for building the client-side of our web and mobile applications:
- Build user apps using React and React Native.
- Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve compatibility issues.
- Strike a balance between functional and aesthetic design.
- Take ownership of critical UIs that are essential to improving the user experience.
What are we looking for? We value candidates with an expressed interest in sports, markets, and software engineering. You will work on problems across the stack and should be passionate about the complexities of computer science. We need someone who can contribute to building the leading sports prediction marketplace.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.
- Familiarity with TypeScript, React, React Native, Node, and GraphQL is desired.
- Strong leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Comfortable working independently and with small teams covering a large surface area.
