Full Job Description
The Role

We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer to join our Chicago hub. This is a senior IC role for someone who wants to own projects end-to-end and ship directly to millions of passionate users.

You'll be embedded directly with our founders and GTM leaders to identify opportunities, scope solutions, and deliver features on tight timelines. Your mandate: maximize value creation for users through speed, craft, and deep understanding of our space.
Responsibilities
  • Partner with customer-facing "co-pilots" (founders and GTM leaders) to define roadmap and deliver value for DubClub's users.
  • Lead design and development of full-stack product features in the mobile and web app.
  • Balance speed, scope, and maintainability to deliver near-term immediate impact, while keeping long-term scalability in mind.
  • Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and architectural guidance to other engineers.
  • Collaborate with GTM leaders and design talent to implement intuitive, reliable, and valuable user experiences.


About You
  • Based in, or willing to relocate to, Chicago.
  • 6-10+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in startups/scaleups.
  • Proven track record of shipping impactful features across the stack.
  • Passionate about technology and adding value for users through elegant, beautiful product. You thrive on building practical solutions that people love to use as part of their everyday routine. You build in an "AI-first" fashion that allows you to ship faster, at higher quality.
  • Strong technical judgment: you know when to optimize, when to cut scope, and when to refactor.
  • Excellent communicator and collaborator, especially with non-technical teammates.
  • Excited about the sports betting space and eager to shape the future of how creators and fans interact.
  • Bonus: experience in marketplaces, fintech, or consumer-facing products.
Our Stack
  • Our backend runs on Python (Django) and Go, with PostgreSQL for data storage.
  • The frontend is built with TypeScript and Svelte.
  • Our mobile app is built in ReactNative.
  • We use Docker for containerization, with GitHub Actions for CI/CD and Terraform for infrastructure management.


Why DubClub
  • A chance to build the future of a culturally important space alongside founders who live and breathe the space.
  • Senior IC seat with ownership and leadership opportunities.
  • Work in-person with DubClub's co-founder and CEO in Chicago.
  • Ship frequently to a passionate user base that notices and celebrates every new feature.
  • Competitive salary, meaningful equity, and benefits.
