Software Engineer III Front End

At PrizePicks, we are the fastest-growing sports company in North America, recognized by Inc. 5000. As the leading platform for Daily Fantasy Sports, we cover a diverse range of sports leagues, including the NFL, NBA, and Esports titles like League of Legends and Counter-Strike. Our team of over 550 employees thrives in an inclusive culture that values individuals from diverse backgrounds, regardless of their level of sports fandom.

About the role

We are looking for a Software Engineer III to join our Account Services team and help us continue to build the future of fantasy sports. Our engineering team builds and scales the platform that powers our explosive growth — from our consumer-facing mobile app to the services that handle millions of daily transactions.

Responsibilities

• Own feature development: Take ownership of features end-to-end — from technical design through delivery — breaking complex UI and interaction flows into well-scoped, deliverable pieces.
• Write high-quality code: Produce TypeScript and React Native code that is clean, performant, well-tested, and raises the bar for the codebase.
• Contribute to architecture: Participate in team-level architectural decisions around component patterns, state management, navigation, and performance optimization.
• Improve quality proactively: Identify opportunities to improve app performance, code quality, accessibility, and developer experience — and act on them.
• Guide junior engineers: Provide technical guidance to Software Engineers I and II through thorough code reviews, pairing sessions, and design feedback.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with Product, Design, and QA to validate technical decisions and ensure alignment between product goals and implementation.
• Participate in on-call rotation: Take increasing ownership of incident response, contributing to root cause analysis and systemic improvements.
• Build team knowledge: Document technical decisions, component patterns, and architecture to strengthen your team’s shared understanding.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful time building React or React Native applications.
• History of delivering complex features within a software team to drive business outcomes.
• Experience breaking down ambiguous requirements into concrete technical plans.
• Exposure to large-scale, high-traffic applications — you understand the challenges of building mobile experiences that serve millions of concurrent users.

Skills

• Advanced proficiency in TypeScript — you write clean, type-safe, production-quality code.
• Strong React Native experience — deep understanding of component lifecycle, hooks, performance optimization, and native module integration.
• Familiarity with Expo and its ecosystem.
• Experience with state management solutions and complex navigation patterns.
• Solid testing practices — unit and component testing with Jest, familiarity with Maestro or similar E2E testing frameworks.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and Expo/EAS workflows — app store releases, OTA updates.
• Understanding of mobile-specific concerns — performance profiling, memory management, and platform differences.

Working Style

• Autonomous — you can take an ambiguous problem and drive it to a well-defined solution.
• Comfortable providing and receiving direct technical feedback.
• Strong written communicator, especially important in a fully remote environment.
• Able to balance deep technical work with collaborative design and planning.
• Foster a strong team environment; we enjoy team happy hours and off-site gatherings to get to know one another.

What Makes You Stand Out

• Experience using AI-assisted development tools for coding, planning, and scoping work.
• Experience with agentic coding tools and AI-augmented development workflows.
• Prior experience working in a remote engineering organization.
• Experience building reactive UIs that handle high-frequency data updates (e.g., Live data, Web sockets and real-time player scoring) with minimal performance impact.
• A sharp eye for using animations and haptics to signal "critical moments" that enhance the minute-to-minute gameplay.
• Understanding how to build layouts specifically for the "second screen" experience, where users are watching the game and the app during intense moments.
• Experience or interest in building high-stakes financial visualizations for DFS or prediction markets, with a focus on real-time elements like live P&L tickers, dynamic price movement graphs, and interactive exposure charts similar to elite fintech or trading platforms.
