Staff Backend Engineer

🌎 About Us At TeamSnap, we believe when the world connects through sports; the world becomes better. TeamSnap is a sports and communication platform dedicated to taking the work out of play in youth sports. We also believe our jobs should excite us, our teammates should support us and our bosses should inspire us. We empower our people to bring big ideas and tiny egos, landing us on Outside Magazine’s list of “ Best Places to Work" and Built In’s “ 100 Best Remote-First Places to Work." TeamSnap is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead our Payments team within our fully distributed engineering organization. Our stack includes Node, TypeScript, Elixir, SQL, React, and cloud-based services. As an engineering team, we architect and build scalable systems using a service-oriented and event-driven architecture that serves millions of daily users and amateur sports organizations. The Payments team owns business-critical systems that support registration, payment collection, financial workflows, payouts, partner integrations, subscriptions, and operational support. This role will be responsible for helping the team deliver high-quality software while also creating a healthy, accountable, and growth-oriented team environment. Unlike a pure Engineering Manager role, this person will also contribute directly as a senior engineer in targeted ways. That may include helping design and implement backend services, improving observability, debugging complex production issues, pairing with teammates, reviewing critical code paths, or taking on scoped technical work that helps the team deliver safely and effectively.
