New York, New York, United States Draftly Full time

About Draftly (What We Do)

Each year, most of the ~7,800,000 active high school athletes in the U.S. give up their dream of playing college sports – or give up their college dreams altogether – due to a lack of exposure, transparency, and opportunity. Further, even among those students who are extended scholarship offers or who walk-on to university sports teams (~431,000 every four years), a portion later realize they are a bad fit for the school, the team, or the sport, and end up transferring (13% of D1 players) or quitting the team (33%).

At Draftly, we are building software to help student-athletes get discovered – and get recruited – to play college sports and to find their dream team. We are former athletes ourselves and know how difficult it is for teams to find talent and build chemistry. Our goal is to help athletes continue playing the sports they love and to create championship-caliber teams.

About the Role (What You Will Do)

The right candidate will become a central member of the early team. You will directly develop and launch the first iterations of the product as well as hire and manage outsourced engineers. You will work with our team of designers and the CEO to quickly develop and launch a marketplace that seeks to serve 8.5mn people in the United States. Beyond the blocking and tackling of the early development work you will be expected to create and lead our engineering strategy as the company scales.

Must Have:

Programming skills – Python, DynamoDB, Django, Javascript (or comparable skills). The Technical Lead will help architect the company's initial tech stack.
Thick skin – you will talk to customers, launch new features, and receive constructive criticism in real-time.
Curiosity – you likely ask lots of (the right) questions and are comfortable w/ ambiguity.
Drive – we are seeking a mission-driven co-founder and are focused on building a uniquely great product.

Nice to Have:

Located in New York City.
4+ years of full-stack software dev. experience or 4+ years of comparable educational experience.
Work experience using AWS.
Interest in college or high school sports, sports technology, and the recruiting process.

Responsibilities:

Work w/ Product Team to plan features and product roadmap, ranging from front-end design to data insights.
Take on lead role on Engineering Team, mentor team members, and set high standards.
Be flexible, learn new skills as required, and solve a wide variety of engineering challenges in different areas.
Help drive the evolution of our devops and operational practices as we scale our userbase and engineering team.

Compensation:

Compensation will be a combination of cash and equity commensurate with market standards. Compensation will reflect experience and is negotiable.

The Technical Lead should expect to work part-time while the company develops v1 of the product. Once the company completes its first round of institutional financing, the Technical Lead will be expected to go full-time and to take an appropriate salary.

If interested in the position please email

Draftly focuses on Sports, Recruiting, Social CRM, and Higher Education. Their company has offices in New York City. They have a small team that's between 1-10 employees.
