We’re Underdog.

The fastest-growing sports gaming company – ever.

We build innovative games, products, and experiences for American sports fans.

We’re here to shake up the fastest growing industry with bold ideas, custom-built tech, and the drive to win.

Founded in 2020, our team has built four of today’s most widely played fantasy games and launched the Underdog Sportsbook – built entirely in-house with our own technology. That means we control our product, move fast, and create experiences you won’t find anywhere else. 

In just over two years, we’ve reached over a $1.2 billion valuation, with investors like BlackRock, Spark Capital, SV Angel, Mark Cuban, Kevin Durant, and Adam Schefter. And we’re just getting started.

At Underdog, we believe that sports are for everyone. Join us.

About the role and why it’s unique:

  • Building best practices from the ground up. How often do we walk into a situation that has been established over years of trade offs? This is a chance to help lead the team in avoiding those mistakes from the start.
  • Be a part of a rapidly growing company in a rapidly growing industry and make impact in our success story.
  • Solve interesting problems with the most capable teammates.
  • Build a roadmap to delivering scalable infrastructure and site reliability engineering.
  • Establish best practices to achieve operational excellence in infrastructure security, availability, resiliency, sustainability and adoption.

Who you are:

  • You have least 8 years of experience in Infrastructure, site reliability engineering, and/or developer tools teams, and 3 years managing the teams.
  • Experienced in building secure, highly available AWS infrastructure and familiar with on-prem Data Center infrastructure operations/setup.
  • Highly focused on delivering results for internal and external stakeholders in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
  • High level of ownership, bias for action, and a desire to empower individuals on the team to perform at their best.
  • Strong familiarity with distributed computing, networks, databases, caches, data streaming technologies in cloud environments, with hands-on experience in provisioning infrastructure and managing infrastructure via IaC tools (i.e. Terraform, CDK, Pulumi, CloudFormation, etc).
  • Track record of delivering scalable and innovative solutions, leveraging cutting-edge technologies for observability, incident-response, cloud and infrastructure management.

Even better if you have:

  • Experience working with data scientists to deploy complex ML models to public cloud and build low latency inference systems to a production environment
  • Experience leading a team in a remote-first and fast-paced environment
  • Experience working in highly regulated industries


Our target starting base salary range for this position is between $190,000 and $240,000, plus target equity. The starting base salary will depend on a number of factors including the candidate’s skills and experience, among other things.

What we can offer you:

  • Unlimited PTO (we're extremely flexible with the exception of the first few weeks before & into the NFL season)
  • 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave
  • A $500 home office allowance
  • A connected virtual first culture with a highly engaged distributed workforce
  • 5% 401k match, FSA, company paid health, dental, vision plan options for employees and dependents
