Backend / Full-Stack Software Engineer

EngineeringNew York City · Remote or HybridFull-time

SharpSports is looking for a Software Engineer to join our development team.

SharpSports is a B2B sports technology company that provides APIs and software infrastructure to media companies, individual developers, and other partners. Our products allow partners to access users’ sportsbook account history, real-time betting odds, sports statistics, and other sports and sports-betting data.

We are looking for a full-stack or backend engineer with 0–4 years of professional software development experience. New graduates and early-career engineers are encouraged to apply.

Because we are a small engineering team, this role offers the opportunity to work across a wide variety of projects and take meaningful ownership of production systems. You will work directly with senior engineers and company leadership and will have significant opportunities to grow your responsibilities as the company expands.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Building new integrations with sportsbooks, prediction markets, and other sports data providers
• Developing and maintaining backend APIs and data-processing systems
• Debugging and improving existing third-party integrations
• Working with and analyzing large volumes of unique sports betting data
• Helping maintain and improve our production infrastructure
• Investigating production issues and implementing reliable fixes
• Helping support customer implementation of our API
• Contributing to the design and development of new SharpSports products and features

Technologies

Our primary technology stack includes:

• Python / Django
• Node / TypeScript
• React / React Native
• PostgreSQL

Experience with AWS Cloud, Docker, Terraform, or other cloud infrastructure is also helpful but not required.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who:

• Has 0–4 years of professional software engineering experience
• Has a strong foundation in programming and software engineering fundamentals
• Understands REST APIs, client-server architecture, and relational databases
• Is able to debug unfamiliar systems and independently work through technical problems
• Has strong attention to detail
• Is comfortable working in a fast-moving startup environment where priorities and projects can change
• Has a computer science degree or can demonstrate strong technical ability through professional experience, internships, coursework, or personal projects
• Has experience with sports, sports betting, financial markets, or prediction markets, which is a plus but not required

Location

SharpSports is based in New York City and maintains office space in Manhattan. This position can be remote or hybrid, and candidates residing in other locations are welcome to apply. Candidates living in the NYC area are welcome to use our office space as often as desired.

Why SharpSports

This is an opportunity to join a small engineering team where your work will have a direct impact on the company's products and customers. Rather than working on a narrowly defined piece of a large engineering organization, you will have exposure to a multifaceted production API and related micro-services, large-scale data infrastructure, cloud systems, and product development.

As the engineering organization grows, there will be opportunities to take ownership of larger technical areas and move into more senior engineering responsibilities.
