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, GameChanger 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.

GameChanger is looking for a Director of Engineering to lead a group of cross-functional teams responsible for building and scaling new products and platform capabilities that support the future of GameChanger. You will lead Engineering Managers and teams across mobile, web, and backend disciplines while partnering closely with Product, Design, Data, and Business leaders to bring new ideas from concept to market. You will report to our VP of Engineering.

This role sits within a team focused on exploring and developing new opportunities for the business. You will lead teams operating in highly ambiguous environments, balancing rapid experimentation, technical excellence, and long-term scalability as new products and experiences evolve.
