Tennis Channel is building the future of digital sports streaming. We are rebuilding our entire Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) platform—from mobile to connected TVs—to deliver world-class live and on-demand tennis experiences to millions of fans. This is a rare opportunity to join a small, senior engineering team building a greenfield sports product from the ground up, where every line of code directly shapes the fan experience. As a Software Development Engineer (iOS & Living Room), you'll help design, build, and scale next-generation hybrid iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS applications using a combination of React Native and Swift. You'll collaborate closely with engineers working on backend systems, CMS, and video streaming to deliver seamless content discovery, playback, and personalization. You'll own impactful features used by millions of tennis fans and have the autonomy to make technical and product decisions that directly influence our platform's performance and quality. You'll also work closely with an experienced, hands-on leadership team (ex-Amazon, ex-Prime Video) as part of a small, high-ownership environment where collaboration, creativity, and execution go hand in hand. Together, you'll build the foundation of Tennis Channel's mobile and Living Room experience—defining the future of how fans engage with the sport they love. This role is onsite and is located in Seattle, WA.
