We are the only sportsbook to ever launch on our own home grown technology, which allows us to build different and innovative experiences. We believe there’s so much more to be built for sports fans, and we’ll continue to win by building the best products and experiences for our customers.

The opportunity in front of us to become the biggest company in our space is massive; after all, we’re currently sitting in the fastest-growing consumer industry in the U.S. In just over two years, we reached a nearly $500 million valuation through some of the best investors in the game, including Mark Cuban, Kevin Durant, BlackRock, and SV Angel. We are many times larger now and our growth is not slowing down.

At Underdog, we believe that sports are for everyone and are building a tomorrow for every fan. Want to help create that future? Join us.

  • Collaborate with client engineers and product stakeholders from start to finish, openly communicating issues, asking clarifying questions, and raising concerns when needed
  • Advocate for best practices to create strong foundational development practices for our growing team
  • Grow in a high-agency environment where you have equity in technical decision-making and are accountable for those decisions
  • Learn from some of the best engineers and leaders in the fantasy and sports betting world while bringing your own unique perspective; we elevate each other to make Underdog the best sports gaming platform now and for the future!

Who you are:

  • Product-minded engineer with 2+ years of software engineering experience
  • Passionate about software development, with 1+ years of professional Ruby and Ruby on Rails development experience
  • Collaborative by nature and passionate about fostering best practices for the betterment of the team

Our target starting base salary range for this position is between $135,000 and $150,000, plus target equity. The starting base salary will depend on a number of factors, including the candidate’s skills and experience, among other things.

What we can offer you:
