Senior Software Engineer

We believe an athletic director’s job is one of the most critical in a community: to shape the lives and experiences of student-athletes. But as we listened, we learned that with dwindling budgets and growing responsibilities, they’ve had no choice but to spend more time managing logistics than leading their teams and programs. After countless conversations, we gained a deep understanding of their challenges, from handling transactions to managing schedules and tracking results.

This insight was the catalyst for Bound. We created an all-in-one platform to give ADs back their time. With our One Schedule Technology at its core, our platform integrates essential tools like Activity Registration, Tickets and Passes, and 20+ additional solutions. Today, Bound empowers schools across the country to manage every aspect of their athletics and activities, all within a single, unified solution.

We’re not just a software company; we are a team made up of former athletic directors, administrators, coaches, parents, and fans. We all share one core belief: in the power of youth sports and activities to positively impact communities and the people who live in them.

As a key member of our engineering team, you’ll be hands-on in building and scaling new capabilities across our platform—from core features to devops practices. You’ll take ownership of key systems, contribute to forward-looking architectural decisions, and help shape the foundation of our tech stack as we grow.

• Lead the design and implementation of complex features and systems across Bound’s platform.
• Own projects from discovery through delivery, collaborating with product, design, and stakeholders.
• Mentor and support a team of engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code across backend, frontend, and supporting services.
• Influence architectural decisions to ensure scalability, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
• Collaborate with product managers to shape technical approaches, estimate work, and define milestones.
• Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes to increase team velocity and code quality.
• Participate in on-call rotation and incident response, contributing to a culture of ownership and learning.
• Review pull requests and promote best practices around performance, security, and reliability.
• Advocate for the user—balancing speed, quality, and long-term impact in technical decisions.

At Bound, we’ve built a platform that powers the backbone of youth sports—and we’re just getting started. There’s so much more we can do, and we’re looking for an engineer who loves to build things that matter:

• You’ll dive into a mix of enhancing our most-loved features and dreaming up what comes next. This means:
  • Powering our fintech systems with smooth, reliable payment flows.
  • Enhancing our public-facing next-generation app and website.
  • Leveling up our student-athlete profiles and stats, making them smarter and more useful for coaches, recruiters and families.
  • Expanding tools for facility management that streamline logistics for everyone.
  • Building out our next big feature like an official assignor tool or a Facebook-messenger-like tool for AD’s, coaches, student-athletes and families..
• You won’t just be handed specs—you’ll collaborate closely with product and design to bring high-impact ideas to life, across web and mobile. Whether it’s polishing an MVP, scaling a feature to thousands of teams, or coming up with something brand new, you’ll be a big part of how Bound evolves.

We care deeply about performance and stability—for the kids using Bound and the staff supporting them behind the scenes. You’ll help our team:

• Monitor and optimize system performance across services, databases, and infrastructure.
• Implement robust alerting, monitoring, and logging systems to ensure uptime and incident visibility.
• Promote and enforce security best practices across infrastructure and application layers, aligning with industry standards including SOC-2.

This is a collaborative, product-driven team where everyone’s voice matters. In this role,…
