About us

TeamSnap is a sports and communication platform dedicated to empowering play in youth sports. We value trust, communication, and fun more than big company policies. We empower our people to bring big ideas and tiny egos which lands us on Outside Magazine’s list of “Best Places to Work” on the regular.

TeamSnap is seeking a Senior Software Engineer - Platform to join our fully distributed engineering team and continue our impressive growth from 23 million customers to beyond! Our stack includes Ruby/Rails, Elixir, and SQL. Similar roles include: Senior/Staff/Principal Software Engineer / Developer, Platform Engineer / Developer, Cloud Platform Engineer / Developer, and DevOps Engineer.

From a recent hackathon we released the first in industry health check screening for teams to help ensure members are healthy before competition of any kind. This had led our team to win the 2021 Big Innovation Award presented by the Business Intelligence Group!

To deepen our connections with each other, we collaborate in pair sessions, virtual team swarms, and asynchronously within Slack. We also love to travel to fun locations across the country for all-company gatherings, team meetings, and the like.
