Staff Software Engineer (Android)

🌎 About Us

The company is made up of innovators, technologists, builders, and problem-solvers shaping the future of youth sports. We’ve been setting the standard in youth sports technology since we were founded in 2009.

We hire for big ideas and tiny egos — which is part of how we landed on Outside Magazine's Best Places to Work, Built In's 100 Best Remote-First Places to Work and, for several years running, Sports Business Journal’s Best Places to Work in Sports.

The company is seeking a Staff Software Engineer (Android) to lead advertising on our next-generation Android app. You'll set the technical direction for how ads come to life in the app: designing a scalable, privacy-conscious ad platform and building ad experiences that feel native to how families use the company. Along the way, you'll help shape the architecture of a modern Kotlin and Jetpack Compose app used by millions. We’re looking for critical thinkers who are excited to jump in and make an impact! We're looking for people with big ideas and tiny egos. No matter what your “job” is, you’re welcome to suggest better ways of doing anything. Our team values collaboration in a remote culture, so we regularly participate in pair sessions and virtual team swarms to stay connected and improve the team and company.
