Fastest live scores, standings, and player updates across NFL, NBA, CBB, MLB, NHL, and WNBA. Backed by General Catalyst and a16z.
About the role
You'll be working on our fantasy sports product — season-long leagues, drafts, matchups, live scoring, and the social layer that connects them. It's the core of Sleeper, with traffic that peaks hard on game days and a season calendar that doesn't move. You will play a crucial role in developing the fantasy experience on web, ensuring it's scalable, reliable, and fast for millions of dedicated users every day.
What they're looking for
- An active fantasy sports player: you're in leagues each season and have opinions about how the product should work
- 5+ years of web application development experience, with React as your primary framework
- Experience building and owning a large-scale, consumer-facing application — not a series of smaller one-off projects
- A strong eye for interaction detail, with real depth in animation and gesture work on the web
- Desire to take on and own a large scale product with freedom to design and develop a best in class experience
- Comfortable in fast-paced and ambiguous environments, equally at home extending an existing codebase and standing up new surfaces
