Pay

For this role in certain locations, a reasonable estimate of the base compensation range for new hires is $75,000 to $95,000. The compensation range takes into account a wide range of factors including, but not limited to, skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs.

Sleeper believes in quality over quantity, and intentionally keeps our team small as a result. In past roles, our team members found it very hard to make a big impact when companies grow too large in size, 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 & operation focused on one thing — connecting people over sports.
