Senior Android Software Engineer, GameDay Capture

About Game Changer:

We believe in the life-changing impact youth sports have on and off the field because they encourage leadership, teamwork, responsibility, and confidence—important life lessons that have the power to propel our youth toward meaningful futures. We recognize that without coaches, parents, and volunteers, organized youth sports could not exist. By building the first and best place to experience the youth sports moments important to our community, we are helping families elevate the next generation through youth sports.

So if you love sports and their community-building potential, or building cool products is your sport, Game Changer is the team for you. We are a remote-first, dynamic tech company based in New York City, and we are solving some of the biggest challenges in youth sports today.

The Gameday Capture team powers all video experiences in the Game Changer app. It delivers a stable, feature-rich streaming experience for coaches and parents, and a delightful way for fans to follow the action when they can't be at the game. The team's work is central to how Game Changer connects families and fans to the moments that matter most.
