Staff backend engineer leading technical design for Node and TypeScript APIs, services, and event-driven workflows across a distributed system. Stack also includes Elixir, SQL, queues, caching, and cloud services, supporting millions of users and tens of thousands of sports organizations.
🌎 About Us
TeamSnap is made up of innovators, technologists, builders, and problem-solvers shaping the future of youth sports. We’ve been setting the standard in youth sports technology since we were founded in 2009.
We hire for big ideas and tiny egos — which is part of how we landed on Outside Magazine's Best Places to Work, Built In's 100 Best Remote-First Places to Work and, for several years running, Sports Business Journal’s Best Places to Work in Sports.
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 primary backend stack includes Node and TypeScript, alongside Elixir, SQL, cloud-based services, event-driven systems, queues, background jobs, caching layers, and observability tooling.
We are looking for a hands-on Staff Backend Engineer with deep, meaningful production Node experience 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 bring strong systems thinking that connects application architecture with infrastructure, platform, data, security, and other adjacent domains, bringing those teams into architecture and solutioning conversations early 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.
