Senior Software Engineer

Are you ready to step onto the playing field of a fast growing US tech startup that's changing the game in the world of sports?

GoodRec is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to own real product end to end and ship it to players in 80+ cities. You'll be the person who takes the hardest problems, decides how to solve them, and gets them live, working directly with our founders on what to build and why. This is a builder role first. You own features from the first line of code to the moment players are using them, and you do it with real ownership rather than a queue of tickets.

GoodRec started 4 years ago with a small community in Brooklyn, New York. Since then, we have grown into the largest pickup sports app in North America. With the GoodRec app, finding a pickup game, league, or tournament near you is fast and easy. All you have to do is tap the app, join a game, and show up ready to play!

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will:

• →

  Own features end to end across our iOS and Android app, from the first line of code to the moment players in 80+ cities are using them.

• →

  Take the hardest technical problems and make the call on how to solve them. You set the approach, you make the tradeoffs, and you're accountable for what ships.

• →

  Build the internal tools and automations that keep GoodRec running, scripting away the manual work and wiring our systems together so the whole team moves faster.

• →

  Own the security and reliability of what you build, not as an afterthought but as part of shipping it right.

• →

  Raise the technical bar around you. Review code, share what you know, and help the engineers next to you do their best work, no management required.

• →

  Work directly with our founders on what to build and why, with real influence over the product and not just the implementation.

• You've shipped real products that real people used, owning them end to end, not just closing tickets someone else scoped.

• Senior enough to move without waiting for permission. You frame the problem, pick the approach, ship it, and can name the tradeoffs you made and why.

• Probably built your own thing at some point, a startup, a side project with users, a tool people actually rely on. Whether it flew or folded, that instinct to build is exactly what we want.

• Bias to automation: you script away your own annoyances and build the tools nobody asked for.

• Comfortable being the person others bring the hard problems to, and generous about sharing what you know.

• Passion for sports, communities, and building things from the ground up.

• Startup mindset: resourceful, adaptable, and eager to take ownership.

• Minimum of 5+ years building and shipping software, ideally within a fast paced or startup environment.

• Strong mobile experience (React Native, Flutter, or native iOS and Android) and comfort reaching across the stack when a feature needs it.

• A track record of owning projects end to end, from the architecture decision through to production.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field, or equivalent real world building experience.

• Native or near native English level: fluent verbal and written communication.

• Full time availability.
