We are also developing products across several other professional sports, including football, soccer, and baseball. Our investors and Board Members include David Hornik, partner at August Capital, Mark Stevens, a former partner at Sequoia Capital and board member of NVIDIA, and others. We are looking for a variety of engineering roles, in areas such as: -Full-stack -UI/UX -Dev-ops -Machine learning -Computer vision The responsibilities range from sophisticated UI design that supports detailed but intuitive analytics, to front-end interfaces that will appear on national sports broadcasts, to scalable backend infrastructure that supports robust video streaming, to ML and CV engineering that enables the semantic layer that understands the game. Our software stack is based around Node, Go and Python, and we also use C++ for our video systems. In addition to these roles, we are also looking for experienced mobile developers to help build out our initial mobile apps on iOS and Android as we start to develop software directly for consumers.
