About Sleeper

Sleeper is building a one-stop-shop to connect everyone in the world over sports.

Over 6 million people use our app to chat about news, scores, and play in fantasy games together.

About the team

We’re an agile group of designers, engineers, and product people who are passionate about building high-quality, intuitive experiences, but we’re also a tight-knit group that likes to have fun

• We are willing to pick up any sports or try out new computer games together, for the purpose of “research”

• We’re work hard and play hard – we set aside time for team-building and game-times

• We can see design everywhere and every day – we even had a team trip to Las Vegas for a design trend workshop

We believe creating the next-gen product for friends requires an all-star team of friends, and here are a few general things we look for in new hires:

1. Are you passionate about tackling problems of all sizes – employing an iterative approach to testing out multiple hypotheses to find the right solution?

2. Are you a motivated, quick learner willing to pick up on new skills?

3. Do you take ownership of your work and domain, and reiterate proactively to build industry-leading products?

Some of what you’ll be doing on the team

• Creating mobile app interactions with 60fps gestures

• Building delightful animations with just the right amount of bounce and easing

• Brainstorming and prototyping new interactions with the design team

• Building pixel-perfect user interfaces for iOS and Android devices

What we're looking for in you

• You take pride in your craftsmanship and delivering delightful experiences to users

• You qualify as an interaction designer, but have the ability to bring your ideas to life

• You have a great feel for how animations should feel, and fiddle with decimal values around acceleration, velocity, and deceleration

• You understand gesture recognizers inside and out

• You understand one programming language deeply

Preferred Qualifications

• 3+ years experience building mobile applications in either React Native or Swift

• 1+ years shipping production-quality gestures and/or animations in mobile apps

• Product design background is a bonus

Benefits & Perks

• This position will be fully remote, and we are accepting candidates based out of the following states: California, Oregon, Washington, or New York

• 401k and health insurance

• Unlimited PTO

• Regular game-time to play virtual games and company hangouts

• Company-sponsored fantasy leagues with real prizes

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. We believe in fair and equitable pay. Certain locations in the United States require job postings to include a reasonable estimate of the base salary range and/or a general description of benefits and other compensation applicable to the role.

For this role in those locations, a reasonable estimate of the base compensation range for new hires is $140,000 to $240,000.

Please note that The compensation range for this role takes into account a wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including, but not limited to, skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs.
