About Sleeper

Sleeper believes in quality over quantity and intentionally keeps our team small. In past roles, our team members found it hard to make a big impact when companies grow too large, which has a detrimental effect on the product and the impact any single individual can have. Our team includes designers, engineers, product experts, and finance & operations focused on one thing—connecting people over sports.

Pay

A reasonable estimate of the base compensation range for new hires is $20 USD to $30 USD per hour.

Schedule

No overtime work allowed, and the internship is 12 weeks.
