Job description
Hi, we’re Underdog!
We’re the fastest-growing sports gaming company ever.
We build innovative games and products for American sports fans.
Founded in 2020, our team built four of today’s most widely played fantasy games and recently launched our Underdog Sportsbook. We are the only sportsbook to ever launch on our own home grown technology, which allows us to build different and innovative experiences. We believe there’s so much more to be built for sports fans, and we’ll continue to win by building the best products and experiences for our customers.
The opportunity in front of us to become the biggest company in our space is massive; after all, we’re currently sitting in the fastest-growing consumer industry in the U.S. In just over two years, we reached a nearly $500 million valuation through some of the best investors in the game, including Mark Cuban, Kevin Durant, BlackRock, and SV Angel. We are many times larger now and our growth is not slowing down.
At Underdog, we believe that sports are for everyone and are building a tomorrow for every fan. Want to help create that future? Join us.

- Lead stand-ups, grooming, planning, and retro sessions with your development team.
- Set success metrics for new features/products and track key marketing performance indicators post-launch to guide iterative improvements.
- Play an active role in cross-team collaboration, creating new processes when necessary to keep marketing, data science, and engineering aligned.
- Ensure marketing, design, and engineering are engaged stakeholders in all product initiatives, proactively soliciting their input for roadmap decisions and planning.
