Sports Genius is building the infrastructure behind the next generation of AI-powered sports intelligence. Our platform allows developers, creators, and fantasy fans to build personalized betting models, custom contests, and viral prediction experiences — all powered by advanced AI and sports data.

We’re not just another app. We’re a platform — like Stripe, but for smart sports experiences. Think: tools that let anyone launch a gamified sports dashboard, run contests, build token-based economies, or deploy AI that evaluates betting slips in seconds.

We’re looking for a Head of Platform to lead this transformation.

What is the Sports Genius Platform?

At Sports Genius, “Platform” means something bigger than product. It’s a sports intelligence engine where developers, analysts, and sports fans build experiences for other users. You might power an AI parlay tool, a player prop predictor, or a DFS optimizer — all from the same platform.

Unlike our internal tools or core dashboard, Platform is external, modular, and scalable — the backbone for anything from a viral Twitter betting bot to an enterprise-level sportsbook assistant.

It’s where a college kid can launch a custom contest site.
Where a creator can build a branded “Daily AI Picks” card.
Where data meets creativity — at scale.

Your Role: Head of Platform

You’ll lead our Platform engineering team, working cross-functionally with AI model designers, product leads, and community creators. This is a technical leadership role with hands-on coding, product ownership, and the chance to directly shape the ecosystem.

Responsibilities:

Own the Sports Genius Platform roadmap: architecture, APIs, extensions, and SDKs
Guide and mentor a small team of full-stack and AI-focused engineers
Architect new integrations — from AI model builders to token contest systems
Prioritize and ship features that empower others to build on Sports Genius
Collaborate with LLM engineers to expose models through modular endpoints
Work directly with power users, creators, and developers to understand needs
Jump into Discord, support launch partners, and prototype new utilities fast
Manage the platform backlog and maintain the highest level of execution
Lead hiring and culture-building for future platform engineers

You’re a fit if:

You’ve built or scaled a platform or dev-facing product before
You think in APIs, but care about end-user experience
You can code (and ship) at startup speed — and lead a team doing it
You're excited to work on prediction engines, token systems, and gamified UX
You’re comfortable wearing multiple hats: product, engineering, strategy
You believe fans deserve smarter tools — and better ways to play

Bonus if:

You’ve worked with Supabase, Vercel, or AI APIs (OpenAI, Claude, etc.)
You’ve built fantasy or sports betting tools for yourself or others
You’ve contributed to open-source or dev community projects
You love the idea of an "App Store" for sports intelligence
