About The Position

Jump is transforming the live sports experience with the only end-to-end fan engagement platform built specifically for sports teams and venues. By focusing on aligned incentives between teams and fans, our platform unifies ticketing, merchandise, and game day operations - creating a smoother, more fan-friendly experience. Founded in 2021 by e-commerce innovator Marc Lore, MLB legend Alex Rodriguez, and entrepreneur Jordy Leiser, we’ve raised $60 million from top investors including Alexis Ohanian’s Seven Seven Six and Forerunner Ventures. Our platform powers teams across the NBA, WNBA, and NWSL helping them boost ticket sales and deliver innovative fan experiences. We’re a remote-first team driven by core values - begin and build with trust, play like the underdog, win as a team, and do your thing. If you’re collaborative, adaptable, and eager to shape the future of live sports, Jump is the place for you. We’re looking for a Platform Engineer who loves reducing friction, improving workflows, and empowering others through great tooling. In this role, you’ll build the systems and automations that help engineering ship faster, help customers onboard smoothly, and help the whole company operate with confidence and efficiency. If you get energy from solving ambiguous problems, partnering across teams, and building systems that quietly power everything behind the scenes, you’ll thrive here.
