FloSports is seeking an extraordinary Senior Software Engineer who will be on our Sport Data team and has a passion for creating and integrating systems to collect and display real-time sports statistics.

People who are successful on this team are self-motivated, team-minded engineers with passion and grit for both business and technological innovation. Our systems are built upon AWS & Google Cloud Platform with Angular, TypeScript, Node.js, Firebase/Firestore, Docker, and Kubernetes.

• Develop adapters to integrate with various in-venue scoring systems to pull in real-time statistics and game data for use in our broadcasts, metadata, push notifications, etc.
• Help architect and develop APIs while understanding the best practices of REST
  

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES:

• Senior-level full stack engineer with 5+ years of relevant experience
