Staff Software Engineer (Full-Stack) (Chicago)

Overview

Online sports betting content is exploding in popularity. The experience of engaging with sports betting content is often a needlessly painful one. The experience is scattered across countless apps, with expert sports handicappers (cappers) building an audience on social media, fans chasing for an edge across different platforms and tools, and everyone looking for better results with less effort. Trust is fragile, workflows are fragmented, and the experience feels more like chaos than community.

DubClub is building the destination where cappers and fans Win More Together.
