About The Position

Swish Analytics is a sports analytics, betting and fantasy startup building the next generation of predictive sports analytics data products.

Our challenges are unique, so we hope you are comfortable in uncharted territory and passionate about building systems to support products across a variety of industries and consumer/enterprise clients.
