  • Join an existing tech foundation (our game mechanics are already built)
  • Create features that directly impact our next funding round
  • See your work enjoyed by users immediately
  • Potential to grow with us beyond the initial contract

Who This Role Is Perfect For

  • Someone who wants to create meaningful impact and see their work enjoyed by end users
  • A developer seeking a remote project with flexible hours
  • A builder who can deliver quality work quickly while managing technical trade-offs

About OverBoard Sports

We believe in creating competition, connection, and community through shared experiences. Our platform isn't just another fantasy sports game—it's designed specifically to optimize for engagement and social connection, bringing the excitement of big games to every game.
We saw the limitations of traditional sports betting: parlays that become worthless after one missed leg leading to a lack of engagement, and experiences that aren't collaborative by default. OverBoard Sports addresses these issues by combining a engagement-focused game design with top-tier community features.
