Fueled by a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture, we strive to recruit individuals that will be enthusiastic and purposeful in carrying out our vision as Transformative Leaders in Sports and Entertainment. Join a small, dynamic software development team embedded within an NBA basketball organization. As a Full-Stack Software Developer, you will design, build, and test mission-critical software tools and applications directly used by the team’s front office, coaches, scouts, and players. Your work will streamline day-to-day operations, enhance decision-making, and provide a unique opportunity to impact the game itself through technology.

Key Responsibilities

Collaborate closely with basketball operations and analytics teams to gather requirements and translate them into robust software solutions.
Design, develop, and maintain both front-end and back-end systems, as well as underlying databases, with a focus on usability, reliability, and scalability.
Construct intuitive user interfaces and dashboards for data visualization, workflow automation, and real-time reporting.
Ensure seamless integration of new applications with existing systems and data pipelines.
Lead or participate in the full software development lifecycle: requirements gathering, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing support.
Uphold software development best practices, including code reviews, version control, documentation, and automated testing.
Effectively utilize AI as part of daily tasks and integrate AI into software tools and processes.
Self-manage tasks and priorities while contributing effectively within a collaborative, agile team environment.
Provide in-person support and troubleshooting for mission-critical tools used, especially during practices and games throughout the NBA season.

Requirements

Bachelor's Degree in a quantitative field (Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, etc.).
Minimum 2+ years of demonstrated experience building, deploying, and maintaining production-grade software in a team setting.
Must have flexible availability and be willing to work evenings, weekends and occasional Holidays as required by the NBA schedule.
Must be willing to work onsite a minimum of 4 days per week.
Proficiency in both front-end (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML/CSS, modern frameworks) and back-end development (e.g., server-side languages, APIs, WebSockets/SSEs), as well as database design and management.
Knowledge of content storage and delivery optimizations, for serving blazing fast video and documents.
Strong understanding of software architecture, data processing, and user experience design.
Track record of applying software development best practices, including testing, code organization, and documentation.
Ability to work independently and as part of a small, cross-functional team.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
Passion for sports and enthusiasm for contributing to the success of a professional basketball team.
