Staff Software Engineer (Full-Stack)

Setting the Stage

Sports betting content is exploding, but the experience around it is fragmented. Talented sports handicappers (“cappers”) are building large audiences, while bettors are searching for people they trust and an edge. Today, that happens across social media, messaging apps, sportsbooks, and other tools. DubClub brings it together in one place; helping cappers build their businesses and bettors discover, follow, and act on the people they trust..

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.

• 3-6 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.

• Strong technical judgment: you know when to optimize, when to cut scope, and when to refactor.
• Excellent communicator and collaborator.
• Excited about the sports betting space and eager to shape the future of how creators and fans interact.
• Experience building React Native mobile apps preferred.
• Bonus: experience building marketplaces, fintech, or consumer-facing products.
