Software Engineer II

Role Description

We are seeking a Software Engineer II with solid TypeScript and React Native experience to join our Sweat & Lineups team. In this role, you will independently deliver features and improvements to PrizePicks’ React Native mobile application — My Entries, Early Payout, and anything Sweat experience! You will work with increasing autonomy, contributing to technical design discussions and producing reliable, well-tested code with minimal oversight. This is a role for someone ready to take ownership of meaningful work on a mobile app used by millions.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver features independently: Own the implementation of small-to-medium features in the React Native app from design through deployment with minimal guidance.
• Write production-quality code: Produce well-tested, maintainable TypeScript code that meets team standards for quality, performance, and user experience.
• Contribute to technical design: Participate in design discussions for team features, offering informed opinions on component architecture, state management, and UI patterns.
• Improve app quality: Identify and fix bugs, address technical debt, and improve performance and accessibility in the features you work on.
• Review code thoughtfully: Provide constructive, thorough feedback in code reviews that helps teammates improve and maintains codebase quality.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with Product Managers and Designers to refine requirements and ensure implementations match design intent and product goals.
• Participate in on-call rotation: Respond to production incidents, contribute to resolution, and help document learnings for the team.
• Share knowledge: Document your work and share context through team discussions, making it easier for others to understand and build on your contributions.

Qualifications

• 2–3 years of professional software engineering experience
• History of delivering features within a software team to drive business outcomes

Requirements

• Intermediate to advanced proficiency in TypeScript, with experience building React or React Native applications
• Solid understanding of component-based architecture, state management, and navigation patterns
• Experience with CSS/styled-components and responsive mobile layouts
• Familiarity with Jest for unit and component testing, and exposure to Maestro or similar E2E testing frameworks
• Experience with Git-based workflows and code review processes
• Understanding of RESTful API consumption and data fetching patterns
• Self-directed — you can take a well-scoped task and deliver it without needing step-by-step guidance
• Proactive communicator who surfaces blockers and shares progress in a remote environment
• Open to feedback and committed to continuous improvement
• Foster a strong team environment, we enjoy team happy hours and off-site gatherings to get to know one another

What Makes You Stand Out

• Experience using AI-assisted development tools to accelerate coding workflows
• Prior experience working in a remote engineering team
• Experience building reactive UIs that handle high-frequency data updates (e.g., Live data, Web sockets and real-time player scoring) with minimal performance impact
• A sharp eye for using animations and haptics to signal "critical moments" that enhance the minute to minute gameplay
• Understanding how to build layouts specifically for the "second screen" experience, where users are watching the game and the app during intense moments.
• You enjoy the visualization aspect of the Sweat experience, between building progress bars, live event graphs, and various visual aids that brings the experience to the next level
