We believe in the life-changing impact youth sports have on and off the field because they encourage leadership, teamwork, responsibility, and confidence—important life lessons that have the power to propel our youth toward meaningful futures. We recognize that without coaches, parents, and volunteers, organized youth sports could not exist. By building the first and best place to experience the youth sports moments important to our community, we are helping families elevate the next generation through youth sports.

So if you love sports and their community-building potential, or building cool products is your sport, GameChanger is the team for you. We are a remote-first, dynamic tech company based in New York City, and we are solving some of the biggest challenges in youth sports today.

At GameChanger, the goal of the Basketball team is to deliver the best possible scoring, stats, and viewing experience for the coaches, parents, and fans of youth basketball. We build features that help coaches capture every possession, analyze performance, and teach their players, while giving families a way to follow the game no matter where they are.

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you'll lead the design and delivery of features that bring basketball to life across our web and backend platforms. You'll own the quality and scalability of the systems that power live game scoring, stats, and other post-game experience features, and you'll help shape how the sport is represented in GameChanger. You'll collaborate closely with product, design, and fellow engineers, and you will report to our Basketball Engineering Manager.
