TeamSnap 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.
TeamSnap is seeking a Senior Software Engineer (Backend) interested in working across the stack to join our fully distributed engineering team to help us continue our impressive growth from 2+ million daily active users to beyond! Our stack primarily includes Node.js, TypeScript, and SQL.
As an engineering team, we design and build scalable systems using a service-oriented and event-driven architecture that serve millions of daily users and some of the largest youth and amateur sports organizations in the world. 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.
What You'll Do:
Develop engaging experiences for our millions of users across our mobile and web applications.
Design and implement scalable apps and services, integrating these into an evolving unified product and system architecture.
Brainstorm and evaluate new product features in collaboration with the product and UX team.
Collaborate and pair with other developers to develop solutions and teach technical skills.
Contribute to our development standards within the team and across engineering to ensure code quality, adherence to standards, and identify opportunities for improvement
Champion and implement automated testing practices to uphold the dependability and stability of backend systems, while also taking ownership of the overall reliability of the team's services.
Actively engage in on-call responsibilities and contribute to incident management efforts.
Evaluate and test new technologies to help TeamSnap move faster or serve our users more effectively.
Help teammates overcome obstacles, resolve blockers, and complete work tasks.
What Will Set You Up for Success:
5+ years of relevant experience, leading large projects on high-scale, distributed software systems as a software engineer
Proficient in backend development with Node, Python, Golang, Ruby or similar.
Experience with direct usage of SQL and relational databases such as MySQL / GCP Cloud SQL along with migrations, profiling, and optimization of such databases.
Hands-on experience developing APIs, services for mobile applications and web clients at scale.
Successfully delivered complex projects including debugging problems that may span a number of systems.
Experience working with and architecting APIs, event streams, webhooks, etc.
Experience working within and towards a distributed system.
Extra points if you’ve built services for livestreaming, advertising, or subscriptions.
