Staff Backend Engineer

🌎 About Us
At TeamSnap, we believe when the world connects through sports; the world becomes better. TeamSnap is a sports and communication platform dedicated to taking the work out of play in youth sports. We also believe our jobs should excite us, our teammates should support us and our bosses should inspire us. We empower our people to bring big ideas and tiny egos, landing us on Outside Magazine’s list of “Best Places to Work" and Built In’s “100 Best Remote-First Places to Work."

TeamSnap is seeking a Staff Software Engineer, Backend, to join our fully distributed engineering team and help us continue scaling systems that serve millions of daily users and tens of thousands of amateur sports organizations. Our stack includes Node, TypeScript, Elixir, Ruby/Rails, SQL, React, cloud-based services, event-driven systems, queues, background jobs, caching layers, and observability tooling.
We are looking for a hands-on Staff Backend Engineer who can build and improve APIs and services, reason through production issues across the system, lead technical design in ambiguous areas, mentor engineers, and raise the quality bar across the team. This person should be comfortable working closely with infrastructure, platform, and data teams without being expected to own those functions directly.

As an engineering team, we architect and build scalable systems using service-oriented and event-driven architecture. This role will help shape the technical foundation behind TeamSnap’s product experience, with a focus on backend systems, APIs, services, data performance, reliability, observability, and production quality.
