We are searching for a Staff BE Developer to help scale core systems behind their fantasy sports & DFS (Daily Fantasy Sports) offerings.

In this role, you’ll drive architectural decisions, build critical BE services, & mentor fellow engineers as they scale to support tens of millions of passionate sports fans.

What You’ll Do

2. Architect scalable, distributed systems capable of handling millions of concurrent users with low latency and high availability.
3. Lead backend initiatives from concept to deployment, ensuring clean interfaces, well-documented services, and resilient infrastructure.
4. Optimize system performance and proactively address bottlenecks through monitoring, profiling, and capacity planning.
5. Drive innovation, technical direction, and team culture as a key engineering voice at the leadership level.

2. Proven ability to design & scale distributed systems serving millions of users in real-time or gaming environments.
3. Strong proficiency in 1 or more backend languages (e.g., Go, Python, Node.js, Java), and an understanding of trade-offs between them.
4. Deep knowledge of databases (both SQL and NoSQL), caching strategies, and message queues (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, Pub/Sub).
5. Cloud experience (AWS, GCP, or similar), with familiarity with containers (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes a plus).
6. Strong product mindset—you care about the why, not just the how, and you build with users in mind.
