Job Description

We’re Underdog.

The fastest-growing sports gaming company, ever. We’re here to make sports more fun. We pair intuitive user experiences with innovative game designs to build the best experience for sports fans in America.

Since 2020, we’ve launched four of today’s most widely played fantasy games, and built the Underdog Sportsbook entirely in-house with our own tech. We move fast, act with urgency, and create experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

With a $1.2 billion valuation and backing from investors like BlackRock, Spark Capital, SV Angel, Mark Cuban, Kevin Durant, Adam Schefter, and more, we’re just getting started.

At Underdog, we play and win as a team. We take chances and are unafraid to attack hard problems. We face challenges with ambition and optimism. We play for the love of the game.

We’re Underdog. And winning as an Underdog is just more fun.

Join us.

  • Build frameworks to measure and analyze model performance and accuracy in production environments
  • Lead technical initiatives, and drive results in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
  • Lead code reviews, provide constructive feedback, and evangelize best practices to maintain code and data quality
  • Keep up to date on emerging ML technologies and trends and focus on iteratively implementing them into Underdog’s engineering systems

Who you are:

  • Knowledge of statistical concepts such as univariate and bivariate distributions, regression models, and binomial models
  • Experience with data technologies like Airflow, Dagster, Spark, and/or dbt

Even better if you have:

  • Strong interest in sports
  • Prior experience in the sports betting industry


Our target starting base salary range for this position is between $150,000 and $190,000, plus target equity. The starting base salary will depend on a number of factors including the candidate’s skills and experience, among other things.

What we can offer you:

  • 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave
  • A $500 home office allowance
  • A connected virtual first culture with a highly engaged distributed workforce
