Solutions not problems .

  • Ability to adapt. An ideal candidate will welcome the opportunity to solve a broad range of problems using a wide array of technologies.

  • An exceptional entrepreneurial judgment that fosters independence over micro-management
  • Understanding of football and international sports a huge plus
  • We are offering:

  • Founding engineer-level equity and token allocation
  • Deferred salary until funding is secured
  • All current team members are working on a deferred compensation basis — we lost our funding two months ago and made the decision to build while we raise. This comes with real risk. Closing funding could take two months or it could take five — but we’re committed to this vision and we’re looking for someone who’s equally passionate and resilient.
  • Long-term ownership and technical leadership
  • A mission-driven, elite team with deep experience in sports, media, crypto, and startups
  • You’ll be one of the first engineers — which means maximum influence and upside.
