The Role

This is a full-time, remote position working as a full-stack developer in our engineering department, who will help build and extend our microservices platform. You will thrive equally working to empower mobile engineers or wiring up React screens for the APIs you’ve built.

You Must:

  • Be able to work efficiently, both independently and in small teams, with excellent communication skills (a must in a remote environment)
  • Be a self-starter with a strong work ethic who approaches challenges with enthusiasm
  • Have excellent troubleshooting skills and the ability to methodically dissect unfamiliar systems
  • Uphold best practices in engineering, security, and design
  • Design systems to meet user needs and business goals (i.e. know when to build extensibly and when to make trade-offs)
  • Thrive in a startup environment - core hours are required, along with occasional evenings related to major sporting events
  • Be excited to work with the latest AI tools and technologies to push the limits of developer and team efficiency

You Have:

  • 4+ years of experience in the development of API driven applications at scale
  • A computer science degree or equivalent experience
  • Mastery of NodeJS leveraging TypeScript
  • Strong experience working with ReactJS and relevant frameworks
  • Deep understanding of relational databases and proficiency with SQL
  • Experience building scalable applications in a cloud environment (familiarity with AWS and underlying services a plus)
  • Mastery of automated testing, Git version control, and other software development tools
  • Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills

Compensation & Benefits

As a Splash team member, you’ll receive a comprehensive compensation and benefits package that includes:

  • A competitive annual salary range of $140-170k. This range may be modified, and final compensation may vary based on work experience and skill level
  • Potential to earn equity in the company
  • Medical, Dental, & Vision Insurance
  • 401K/Retirement Plan Options
  • Flexible PTO
  • Annual company retreats & team offsites
  • Frequent company-wide games with cash prizes
  • An exciting opportunity to be a part of the fast-growing fantasy sports industry, where you’ll help build products for millions of fans across the country!

View company profile

At the heart of Splash Sports, and its parent company Splash Inc., is a vibrant culture centered on transforming the landscape of sports gaming through community and peer-to-peer interaction. Founded in 2021 by Joel Milton and TJ Ross, the company, headquartered in Denver, Colorado, quickly established itself by acquiring RunYourPool and OfficeFootballPool, platforms already fostering a strong sense of camaraderie among sports enthusiasts. The launch of Splash Sports in 2023 further solidified this mission, offering a real-money gaming platform designed for friends and groups to compete in games of skill, moving away from the traditional 'house always wins' model. This approach emphasizes healthy competition and responsible play, a core tenet of their mission since inception. Their commitment to this is evident in their partnership with Birches Health to provide resources for responsible gaming and their membership in the Coalition for Fantasy Sports, advocating for safe, innovative, and enjoyable fantasy sports experiences.

The company's values revolve around empowering contest organizers, known as 'Commissioners,' to create and manage their own contests, fostering a unique 'Commissioner Economy' where individuals can even turn their passion for organizing sports pools into a significant endeavor. This focus on user-generated content and community management tools aims to bring the sports pool space into the modern age, making it easy and legal for people to connect through friendly competition. Splash Sports believes that sports gaming should be an engaging social activity, allowing users to play with each other rather than against an impersonal house, thereby enhancing the enjoyment of sports through collaboration and shared experiences. This philosophy extends to their view of competition, not just from other gaming platforms, but also from social media giants, as they strive to be a home for sports analysts, content creators, and fan communities to engage and monetize their audiences. With a rapidly growing user base of over 2 million active players, Splash Inc. is dedicated to continuous innovation, product improvement, and expanding their game offerings, all while championing a community-centric approach to sports gaming.
